We went here after seeing it advertised on fb, great day out and all for the cost of parking, which is cash only but you can pay at the counter in the gift shop by card before 5pm. (£5.60) We took a picnic, enjoyed a walk with a stop at the assault course which the kids loved then a stroll back to the park which includes a water area so pack towels and costumes as I didn’t know about this area so the kids went in their underwear. After lunch went for another stroll and came across another assortment of activities that the kids enjoyed they was tired at the end of the day but a brilliant day out. Their is a cafe on site if you wish to eat their or enjoy a coffee outside on the decking over the lake. Great for all ages, will defo be visiting again!

Having been underwhelmed by several local National Trust properties, we visited this privately owned estate. Wow! totally blown away, so much to see and do - the chilli collection alone is worth coming for, who knew there were so many varieties of chilli peppers! And the little zoo - where you really can get up close and personal to the animals, who, by the way, all look really well cared for. The gardens are just beautiful - varying from the manicured to the wild. And, unlike some properties, there are no signs up telling you not to do this and that, you are free to wander and discover the beauty of this place. It's the kind of place you could come back to repeatedly and still find something different. We absolutely loved it.
