Overview
The Park offers beautiful woodland and riverside walks, picnic areas with seating and barbecue facilities.The Country Park has a varied and interesting history, stretching back 340 million years! This rich history blends itself neatly into the overall attraction of the Park.
The Park's Visitor Centre, housed in a converted stable block, offers a warm welcome, an aquarium, audio-visual and classroom facilities, a function room, snacks and refreshments.
The Park and particularly Calderwood, is a wildlife haven. Roe deer, fox, heron, otters and woodpeckers all make their home here. The many Oak and hazel trees provide food and shelter for the woodmice and squirrels.
The Countryside Ranger Service help to manage our natural areas and wildlife, but can also arrange talks, school visits, summer events and give advice on general countryside matters.
The Park is open throughout the year and admission is free. The Visitor Centre is closed on Christmas Day, Boxing Day, the 1st. and 2nd. January every year.
