Public pools & Water park in Stoke

“Absolutely gorgeous walk, especially April May when the bluebells are flowering. 100% blessed to have on doorstep.”

“Great place to take the kids with parts for all ages. With the quarry right next to it for picnics and ball games it's a really good location. Would be better with cleaner toilets but the same could be said about anywhere. At least this park has toilets. Good amount of seating dotted around makes it easy to sit and watch the kids playing. Overall great place to go.”

“The most friendliest pub I've ever been to. Great ale and fantastic food!!”

“Great place to meet local people and events”

“We visited bewilder-wood for the Christmas Panto and light trail. This was the first time we had been and we loved it. We wondered through the forest looking at the lovely light displays. We then had some festive food in the tee pee tent. The food was very good and very fairly priced. We then went to see the pantomime and wondered through the remaining forest light trail. We spent around 3 hours here we had a great time! Thank you Bewilderwood”

“I refreshing area for a lovely walk on a nice day. Plenty of things to see with a great view from the highest point across the whole area in multiple directions”

“Apply amazing wanted to wright this a wile a go but the employees are amazing especially the lovely lady that helped us pick out spot will be going again”

“Great area for all the family members and friendly dogs. After nice walk everyone can enjoy a cup of coffee or an ice cream in local coffee. Summer time is even better as you can enjoy water activities”

“It's a lovely lake and a nice easy walk around the lake. And it has paths leading off to other walks through the woodland. So you can make your walk as big or small as you like. Lots of nature trails and lots of things the kids can spot along the way. The little cow shed next door to the reserve so you can grab a cuppa. Card only. Oakhanger project's is how I came to know the place through kayaking and canoeing. Which I found through Walk talk action. Which you can also find on Facebook and get involved for people of all ages”

“Beautiful, well maintained park. Attractive flowerbeds surrounded by grass ideal to have a picnic on. Lovely enclosed children's play area with numerous different apparatus which our granddaughter lived. Toilets available and easy parking nearby. Lots of fascinating history associated with the park dating back to its opening in 1871 including a Victorian pavilion and drinking fountain.”

“The Hales Hall caravan and camping site is in Cheadle Staffordshire. It's a large site that provides both tent and caravan pitches. They also have the choice of 3 types of wooden lodges which looks lovely but they are limited to just a few. On this site they have a statley home which as a restaurant that you can book a table even if you are not staying at the site. They have a bar with a good selection of drinks and friendly staff. They have all the amenities needed to make your stay comfortable toilets and showers blocks. This site is close to the Alton towers theme park and also a great place to stay if you want to explore some of Staffordshires beautiful walks and trials”

“1820 the trees were donated from around the country it's got the most variety of trees in the country in one park. These trees have seen so many memories tears and laughter. We sit under them from the shade and shelter from the rain. I love this park and the lake.”

“I took my two Grandchildren to their swimming lessons, as their Mum and Dad were away for the weekend. My impression was that M club is an excellent venue. The staff are friendly and helpful and the whole building is immaculate. Although I was not actually using any facilities, as far as I could see the range of gym equipment was massive and the pools were beautifully clean. There is a very large free car park and a cafe inside.”

“Great virtual tour for less able visitors, excellent guide who was a mine of information about this early example of factories and continuous processes. Good catering and well worth a visit”

“Went here for the North Pole express. We had a great time. The staff were all really friendly. A great experience for us and the kids. A small bag of treats on the train including port and mince pies for us and juice and cookies for the kids made the journey even better. The kids loved their gifts from Santa too; a well thought out gift for our kids ages. The elves on board made it fun, having a sing along and even a bit of magic which was great. All in all a really great experience and highly recommend it. We also had a drink in the bar after, mulled wine and a great selection of beers finished off with some tasty hot meat baps and pigs in blankets.”

“Fantastic experience!! Every scene was beautifully presentated with perfect music! Great for families of all ages and enough places to stop to take photos and great food from the vendors!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Truly magical place. Mow Cop Castle feels like something out of a fairytale. The ruins are dramatic and full of character, perched high with breathtaking views in every direction. It’s peaceful, atmospheric, and perfect for a reflective walk or a fun little adventure — especially with a dog in tow! A hidden treasure well worth the visit.”

“Wonderful park.beautiful flowers & grounds & great sand & splash area for the kids ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️”

“Me and my daughters visited this wildlife park and it was a wonderful visit. The animals all look well cared for with plenty of space to move. The accessibility for wheelchair users was fantastic. Platforms made it easy to view animals and the walk around areas were not too small. Information about each animal was clear and easy to understand for younger children. There was an option to feed wallabies or deer, we opted for wallabies and were amazed when a joey popped its head out of its mom's pouch. Although my daughters are adults, the play area was fantastic, we would have definitely spent a fair while there when they were younger. Definitely a place to visit. If there were any recommendations for the park, it would be to have some Makaton signs by the enclosures.”

“I had a wonderful day at Tittesworth visitor centre while my husband took part in an ultra marathon. The center was well-organized with very friendly staff. The food was good and the drinks were reasonably priced. There was ample parking and great accessibility for wheelchair users. The disabled toilet was a bit challenging to access due to the door, but it was clean. There were plenty of disabled parking spots close to the main paths. The paths around the lake were great for those with strollers and wheelchairs. They also offer trampers for hire if you want to relax and enjoy the stunning views.”

“We had a wonderful weekend with extended family staying in tents and safari lodges. The accommodation was fantastic, the lodges were luxurious, clean and spacious. The facilities were fabulous, particularly the biotop pool and the kids beach area. We had an age range of baby to 70s and there really was something for everyone. Plus all the staff were so helpful and nice, even collecting a birthday cake which had been incorrectly delivered for us. We will be back…highly recommended. Ty.”

“In need of a leg-stretch and letting Jabba have a run about, we stopped off here on our way to Devon. Some magnificent views, lots of routes to take and not tricky to park near to the entrance. Looks like there are some facilities closer to the lake, but we didn't get down to those bits.”

“Always a brilliant selection of beers/ales. Great, friendly atmosphere too.”

“Great walk, posts with colour code walks to follow. Very peaceful.”

“Fantastic free place to visit and walk, always bump into dog walkers when we visit. It's great to give children freedom to run and let them choose the path of adventure. So lucky to have this not too far away from where we live. Another outdoor area of beauty free of charge with a place to park and good for runners too.”

“We come here regularly for an evening walk and to get my little lad out the house. It's got two lovely lakes to walk around and a great park. Multiple climbing frames, slides and it even has an accessible see-saw for wheelchair users. Parking is cheap.”

“Great quiz / bingo on a Wednesday night, had a brilliant night. Good prices. All staff were lovely!”

“A great day out paddle boarding canoeing walking along woodland trails parts are wheelchair friendly take out meals and drinks available toilets open though reduced at the moment for safety plenty of hand gel stations a picturesque reservoir to walk around.”
