A total mess, unkept and dirty. The ponds are very overgrown and there's been homeless living there leaving rubbish around.
Absolutely beautiful place for a dog walk or even a leisurely stroll to be at one with nature. The colours of the autumn leaves are lovely. You can hear birds singing in the trees. It's a beautiful place with spaces to leave your car too. I didn't know this existed until I saw the reviews on here. There is a lovely lake as well with ducks and geese having a swim. The geese I heard flying into the area and landed on the lake for a rest. It's so nice and peaceful. I didn't see anyone else whilst I was walking around. I highly recommend this reserve.
The grandkids like it as it's just across the street
Gorgeous little park hidden in a housing estate. Lots of lovely trees to look at and benches to sit on.
Some excellent photos of the wildlife, pretty sure I saw one of those one eyed trash creatures pop it's eye up through the pop bottles and crisp packets. Seems to be a problem litter.. Would have given it 5 stars but for the floatsum and jetsum along with disguarded dog dirt bags, but at least it's in bags, it does wind me up, they can be bothered to bag it but won't bin it afterwards, it's worse than just leaving it to play hop scotch through. Just put it in the bins provided.
Lovely walks all around this area. Good footpaths from The Boat pub by Cheddleton steam railway going towards Stoke. 2.5 miles walk to Hollybush at Denford lovely stroll along canal side.
I took my 7 year old grandson here to do the Shaun the Sheep Farmageddon trail. We both had great fun and I walked further than I thought possible without noticing. You do have to be aware of the cyclists though
