Full Walk Details

There are several signed trails inside the country park, and if the info centre is open you can get a paper leaflet to help with the background to the park and area. Or you may prefer to just potter around - admiring the mill buildings and the green space beyond. It's very atmospheric and interesting too.   The three short routes are called Owl, Badger and Fox. Badger and Fox are suitable for wheelchairs.
