Welcome to Wellington, where memories are made. Follow your outdoor imagination and begin a safe adventure with us. Wellington Country Park offers an open air, fun-filled venue for children up to the age of 8 years old. Visit our website for full details.
I’ve been coming to WCP for the last 6 years and genuinely think it is the best attraction in our area (we live in Reading). The park has a variety of playgrounds to suit different ages. We always enjoy feeding the animals at the farm (especially the crazy goats) and my kids go nuts in the sand and water play area. On our last visit (Thursday 15 April) we stayed the whole day in the park and managed to do about everything (kids are 4 and 6). The park is spotless and well maintained. I love how they’ve made new additions and improvements throughout the years and I always appreciate how the train ride is decorated differently depending on the theme (Easter, Halloween, ...) The picnic selection at the restaurants is good. The hot food not so much. Prices are very reasonable. Staff throughout the park is friendly. Covid-19 remarks - regular cleaning is being done. The train is wiped down after every (yes every!) ride. The jumping pillow was disinfected entirely before first use of the day. - hand sanitising stations were fully stocked - there are 2 food outlets and an ice cream Outlet in the park and I didn’t see big queues at any of them - social distancing was acceptable. Some people get it, some people don’t. The park is doing what they can. I felt safe during our time there. - we booked for 9:30 and walked in without having to queue Wonderful place and fantastic management. Highly recommend.

Beale Wildlife Park was founded in 1956 by Gilbert Beale who created the Child Beale Trust, a charitable organisation, dedicated to the care and conservation of rare and endangered mammals and birds. The Park is a great place to be with fun, adventure, gardens, amazing animals and birds and play areas for all ages - there's even a paddling pool and narrow gauge train! There is free parking on site and lots going on in the wider park too - visit our website for details.
Love this place, new additions now including an alligator and lynx and as always the variety of birds are amazing. The staff were very friendly and obviously happy to be open again, lots of information given about the animals. Quirky japanese garden with an amazing array of paraphernalia to look at. Huge queue for cafe but found an ice cream/coffee shop by the lake instead. It was nice to see the train running again and lots of famillies enjoying themselves. Thoroughly recommended !

COVID UPDATE The cafe is currently closed. We are Hare Hatch Sheeplands, an independent nursery, farm shop & cafe. We offer a fresh & friendly, and rather different, shopping experience. Fresh fish, butchery, local wines, honey, eggs, bread, cut flowers and vegetables when in season. Home deliveries and socially distanced collections available.
Excellent & unique garden centre, farm shop & café combo. A true gem. High quality plants overseen by Rob who has extensive growing experience. Fantastic coffee and food served in the café, including amazing homemade cakes. Something for everyone in the farm shop.

This is a lovely place to walk around the lakes and you can actually make a longer walk by incorporating Dinton
