This is a wonderful spot for a picnic and some peace and quiet. The views were stunning and the walks were endless. You’re free to go under a Victorian railway bridge or walk onto a field with the sheep grazing freely. It was a great couple hours and highly recommend it if you want to escape from reality. Parking is normally £1 but it is currently free because someone vandalised the payment machines. You can get a breakfast roll and a cup of tea at a reasonable price from Woodies. The lady who runs it is very cheerful and easy to talk to

I visit the Fairfield Nature Reserve often, and it's a place I always take visitors to the city. It's a lovely green space, suitable for all. There's various paths to take, benches to sit on, exploring to be had, and my kids love the nearby playpark, plopping little stones into Lucy Brook, and playing in the Orchard.

Please keep this stunning part of England a secret. It is the most gorgeous place - small villages and rolling countryside in one instance then broody hills and windy fella the next.

8. Leighton Hall
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 192 reviews
We are Open May - September, 2pm - 5pm, Tuesday till Friday (also Bank Holiday Sundays and Mondays). This romantic Gothic house is the lived in family home of the famous Gillow furniture making dynasty. Boasting unique, priceless pieces of Gillow furniture, Leighton's informal guided tours appeal to all ages. Outside the Hall are woodland walks, an abundant 19th century walled garden, herbaceous borders and roses, a fragrant herb patch and an ornamental vegetable plot. Every day at 3.30 pm (weather permitting), Falconer Jim Brown, gives flying displays with his birds of prey, where visitors get the chance to put on a glove and really get up close to these fantastic creatures. For 2015 we have installed a new petite children's play area. Our products have been sourced locally as we worked with a local playground company to maximize the space we had available. So we hope the children will enjoy these facilities. Please go to our website or Facebook page for entrance fees, or just give us a call.

We were camping close by and decided to visit, I had been in the past when I was much younger, opening times are short, a few hours in the afternoons and only on certain days but worth the visit. The hawk display was fun, it wasn the normal person doing the display so the birds were not used to the environment and decided to not perform quite as they should have but the person doing the display was extreemly knowldable about her birds and wasnt phased by them not performing. The Walk in the woods was good fun for my daughter she enjoyed looking for the faces on the trees lifting the panels and finding bugs and other creatures under there. The few hours they are open is filled by the house tour, hawk display and the walk in the woods so best to arrive ready for them opening to make sure you get to see everything especially if you want to grab a bite to eat from the cafe.
