Gorgeous park with a little animal area, really good sized play park for children with two separate areas for different ages. The food is gorgeous in the stables cafe area too. Nice visit.
Was fortunate to be able to have a wander around the hall as part of Heritage Open Days. The lady from the Friends group was extremely helpful and the group have done an excellent job with the house. It was built in the 1830's by the Greenall family, of brewing fame. Hopefully that work will continue so that it can continue to develop and be opened up more often for the public. It's now owned by the Council who have developed the grounds with a children's zoo and play area, as well as a cafe and plenty of local walks.
Recently checked this place out. It's great for families. You have a big children's play area. A children's zoo which is more like a farm with farm animals to visit. You also have a jungle Parc, crazy golf for children and normal golf course for adults. Cycle museum which I think you got to book to visit. You have Walton hall and gardens, a pond to view and there is also toilets and a cafe on the premises. Ideal place for a local day out with the family. Opens 8am until 8pm Current parking costs for cars Mon to Fri = £3.50 decent size carpark. Sat to Sun (bank holidays) =£4.50
Beautiful park with many free things to offer. The mini zoo inside is a pleasant surprise with a variety of animals more to offer than most farms I have been to and it’s free. Open spaces with beautiful garden centre with plants to see a lovely little cafe with little stalls, plenty of clean toilets spotted around the area near the park as well as near the cafe area, definitely well kept and a breath of fresh air. The open spaces and park is just amazing with alot to offer children of all ages. Not many places have free things to offer and this had a good mix. There are two ice cream vans with affordable but delicious ice creams as well cold drinks. The zoo closes around 4:30 and the cafe at 5:00 so ensure you don’t miss out and go within the times of possible. The Thomas ride on is £3 per person and flags for £1 lovely little feature if you don’t fancy walking but want to see the park. Car park is pay and display and disabled spaces getting 3 hours for free.
Great place for a family day out! Had a lovely experience at this place. The whole area is very clean and well maintained. The small zoo was a pleasant surprise, free and perfect for kids to enjoy. There's a large, impressive playground with plenty of activities to keep children entertained for hours. Parking was £4.50 for the whole day on the weekend. Overall, it’s a peaceful, fun, and family-friendly place to spend the day.
Fantastic council owned park. Grounds are so well maintained and are a credit to all involved in their maintenance and upkeep. Nice cafe dog friendly with decent range of drinks and snacks but is slightly expensive. Nice little children's zoo and play area as well. Something for everyone.
Amazing place to visit on a nice day. There is huge fields to sit and relax on aswell as a huge play area for the kids. Also in the grounds there is a little farm with birds and alpaca on, a green house with a pond full of fish and other things to see. Car park is reasonably price & blue badge get to park for free while there. There isn’t many BB spaced near the front but you can park in any space and pop your BB out for free parking.
Makes for a fab half day out, suitable for couples or families with kids with the small zoo and mini golf. The gardens are also well kept and make for a pleasant, short walk. The main let down is how busy the cafe gets, so we went elsewhere for food instead of waiting.
Very serene atmosphere and beautiful landscape. The manor house is stunning and adds the rich historical feel to the grounds. Walking through the gardens you are swept up in history and could almost imagine what it felt like living on the grounds back in the days. A beautiful array of flowers are planted across the grounds in a spectacular display. The grounds are in excellent condition. There is a cafe on the grounds and they serve amazing food. The staff are friendly and fast with service. I would recommend having a nice brunch with a warm coffee and freshly baked cake while visiting. The zoo is a beautiful assortment of local animals and have a few habitats for the local red squirrels which are amazing to see. This is a must see historic destination.
