We have been here while visiting family a few times - there is a kids park and some nice walks that are generally accesable on the site. Parking is charged though via pay and display, there is no blue badge dispensation even though the site is run by the local council. The Cafe is great - a nice coffee for a couple of pounds, and some amazing home made cakes. Including a gluten free and even vegan options. They offer other food items as well - the hot pastys like saussage rolls seam popular. Wish there was more places like this, with friendly staff.

After a lovely walk around the park, there is nothing better than a sausage roll, coffee and pup cake at the skylark cafe. They have a great food selection from jacket potatoes to sausage rolls.

Outdoor seating benches available, and the toilets are next door. They sell both hot and cold food.. Be aware that they close early due to being within a country park. Parking is £3.50 and is a straight flat fee. The service was good, and friendly with a good choice of food available. And .. ice cream !
