Came here 13/09/25. I'm touring Wales and came across this lovely stop-over. Weather changable so I brought an umbrella. Lovely walk around lake. Peaceful and relaxing walk around lake. Free car parking and toilets. Toilets basic but clean. No overnight parking.
Lovely little park to come and have a walk. There's a nice pond here, too. The pond water seems clean, and looked after. When we visited, there were people fishing also. It does seem like a great place to have a little wander, especially if people have a pet. One downside is that the area as you come into the park and some other areas, it is a little overgrown, which makes it feel a little messy. Other than that, this place is great. Definitely recommend visiting here.
Lovely place to have a walk around the pond. Always busy so need to keep dogs on lead on path, but off main path you can do almost a whole lap off lead too. In peak summer hours there is a tiny shop selling tea/coffee.
Good spot for a walk, takes about 20 minutes to orbit the pond. Path is properly surfaced, broad and step free. Best part - the flower meadow near the car park, see photos (mid-September).
Lovely place for a flat walk with hard ground which is quite hard to find in the Valley's. Does get very windy and lots of dogs about. Plenty of parking and has currently been made free
Always has been our families go to when you need quiet time. Great for dog walking and just keeping your steps up.
Happy place to walk the dog. Free parking and a small snack shop - although I have not seen it open in months.. Nice, easy flat walk around the pond. Has been quiet in the mornings with plenty of space=]
First time visit here today. Looking for somewhere new to walk our English Springer Milo. Plenty of parking available which I'm sure in the height of summer will be needed! Nice well maintained path all the way around the pond, suitable for prams/buggys and wheelchairs etc. Benches can be found every few hundred metres. Was very clean and tidy with no litter that I could see. Didn't use the toilets so can't comment on them. Will be nice in the spring and summer months to sit down and have a cuppa by the little kiosk. People and dogs we met were very friendly. Water looked fairly clean and clear. Our dog loved it and went in for a few swims! Will come back again.
Nice gentle walk around the pond, Great for dogs and easy walkers. But have to pay for parking,so you cant visit everyday to walk your dog as it will be hundreds of pounds a year.
