Nercwys Forest

Reviewed By Dataflow - Chester, United Kingdom

If you venture off the beaten paths here - starting at the corner through the style you are treated to some lovely hidden paths. Nothing wrong with the bigger paths but I prefer wandering through the older parts of the woods where the trees are closer together and the path less obvious.

Loggerheads Country Park

Reviewed By adamcX1542DA - Doncaster, United Kingdom

We arrived during the afternoon, and parking was available right outside the entrance. Parking wasn't too expensive (£2 for 2-3 hours) and was free entry into the park! We enjoyed walking up the cliff, and seeing the amazing views at the top which was worth the walk! The woodlands had a variety of wildlife present such as squirrels and various birds. The walk around the river is highly recommended. We would definitely return if we find ourselves in the area again.

Wepre Park

Reviewed By Philfromcheshire

I have visited here several times and it still remains very popular for everyone. Plenty of parking spaces,but it can get busy during holiday time. There is a lovely visitors centre which has a map of Wepre Park,public toilets and a cafe which serves hot and cold food and ice cream.You can sit outside the information centre with your dog on a lead.There is also some benches and rocks to sit on under the trees.There are picnic tables near by. Plenty of well worn paths leading you in various directions around Wepre Park.There is also a boarded path which is great for anyone using pushchairs,you can walk down to the river and dogs and children can have a paddle. Lots of birds and wildlife can be heard as you walk through the Brook walk. There are plenty of benches to sit and relax on along the way. You can also take a visit up to Ewloe Castle or take the many steps up to what was an old golf course.It is now a wildlife area full of bullrushes and wild flowers.You then follow the path through woodland to the Rosie Pool which is popular with people who want to fish. You can walk around Rosie Pool,but if you have a dog you must keep the dog on a lead. There is also a lovely little garden behind the visitors centre which the staff/volunteers do keep tidy.Although there was a few bottles and cans thrown in the small pond,lots of wildlife to see and benches to sit and relax. There is also a large playground for children,teenagers and adults and a skate park near to the car park.There is so much for children to see and do here and on a nice day it is nice to take a picnic and relax. The park is very popular with walkers,joggers,mountain bikers,dog walkers and families but also nice if you want a relaxing stroll on your own. I would definitely recommend a visit.

Talacre Beach

Reviewed By 326laylas - Staffordshire, United Kingdom

We stopped in a caravan park only 6 mins away from the Beach. The Beach was fairly quite, not overcrowded and lots of space. It was clean and well looked after. We even did nice a walk through the sand dunes a few times. Just by the Beach three is a chip shop, a bakery, resturant, ice cream shop and a souvenir shop with the usual bucket and spade etc. Talacre beach feels like a secret hidden treasure... so beautiful and peaceful too.

Greenfield Valley Heritage Park

A seventy acre Heritage Park and Museum. The Park contains woodland, scheduled ancient monuments and five reservoirs. Once home to industry, noise and pollution, it is now a haven for wildlife. The museum was developed around Abbey Farm, a working farm until 1979 and is also home to buildings rescued from elsewhere include historic farmhouses and a Victorian school house. There are plenty of areas to play in including an adventure tree house, explore our tunnel maze and make a splash with our water games. Toddlers can have fun in our soft play tractor heaven barn and children of all ages can try to find their way out of our Mega Tower maze! The majority of the collections span between 1850 and 1950 covering a variety of themes including agriculture, social history and the industrial history of the local area. • Farming objects and machinery • Spring Garden School • Victorian Farm House • Tudor Farm House and Gardens • Local People in Industry • Textile and Paper Mill display
