Full Walk Details
Follow the A5058 south until you reach the northern end of the park where you can start the walk. On foot, follow the perimeter of the park, this is the loop route. Depending on your direction, have a look at the beautiful lake or Palm House, both of which serve refreshments if you are hungry. Halfway around you reach the southern-most end of the park, stop here for refreshments in Lark Lane, many venues have outdoor seating or are dog friendly. To shorten your walk, cut back through the middle of the park to return to your car. For a longer route back, continue in the same direction and follow the perimeter 'loop' of the park to return to the northern end where you parked your vehicle.
