Water park in Stoke

“Excellent service from all staff. I felt listened to, and was treated with care and patience. Everything was explained clearly and staff were knowledgeable. Tremendously beneficial to my mobility and detailed exercises were given. Thank you so much!”

“I have an ex-racing greyhound who can’t be let off lead, so we love coming to Paws and Play to use the field. It’s secure and always well maintained. It also has various obstacles to use and you can drive in making things easier. Treats, drinking water, poo bags and toys are all provided.”

“Great outdoor space with agility equipment and a lake for a cool off and drink for the pooches! Toilets and shelters for humans! My 3 dogs had a great time and slept well that night! Well worth a visit if your looking for a safe and secure area for some free running and play.”

“Beautiful place parking . coffee shop”

“It took us just nearly 4hrs to walk all around, including some sit down breaks and time to enjoy the views. We were blessed with a wonderful weather to enjoy the beautiful views. We had great time. Make sure you have wear comply footwear or even hiking boots as some of it was quite hard going and our feet and legs were hurting by the end. I would recommend and will most likely return it the future.”

“Good walks with some stunning views from the highest points. Some tunnels where a torch is needed and some rough pathways so good footwear is needed. Well worth the visit.”

“Really nice area with a variety of walking routes (most of which are firm under foot). Well worth crossing the canal into Marbury park and stopping off at the mobile refreshments trailer (their Marbury blend tea is very nice and they do a variety of lunch options and sweet treats).There are public toilets next to the trailer, should you need them. Crossing back over the canal, and following the tow path back to the boat lift car park, results in around a 4.5 mile circular route, but there are opportunities to extend it further, should you want to. Really popular with dog walkers and families.”

“Amazing and so mind freeing. A great place to take your soul and the dogs to get away from the hustle and bustle of the big city.”

“Great place to start a walk around Knypersley Reservoir. Don't miss Gawton Well, Gawton Stone and the waterfall. A great place for kids to explore.”

“Lovely garden with lots of secret places to come across. Mainly tulips and Azaleas at this time of year but we'll worth coming back in summer to see the fabulous herbaceous borders in all their glory. Nice little cafe with indoor and outdoor seating. There are stone steps up to the cafe and that's where the toilets are located. Gets very busy at peak lunch time. There are also lots of steps within the garden.”

“Beautifully kept site and lovely people. Best breakfast bap on the planet! Plenty of space for the tent and motorcycle, very highly recommended. Thanks guys!”

“Really beautiful place with a small river, ride on train geese and very well kept garden.very family freindly place to be and it all look wheelchair freindly aswell.”

“We went to see the Christmas decorations within the main house. There's no extra charge for National Trust Members but you still have to book a time slot. Absolutely fabulous displays with really interesting info boards to explain the function of each room at Christmas, and some very clever themes applied to the decorations. Fun activities for kids, some very enthusiastic and knowledgeable volunteers to support the visit. Well worth a look if this is your kind of thing”

“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.”

“We recently stayed at Overwater with our narrowboat. The plan was a two week stop over christmas so we could leave our boat in a safe place. After 24hrs we extended our stay by a further 3 weeks. Why? Having seen a few other marinas we could immediately see how much effort and pride there is in what they are creating here. From our first contact with David, the manager on email, it was evident they knew customer service (all too rare today). The services ( showers, elsan, & fuel) were first class. I needed to receive a few packages while we were there, and even have a mattress delivered and take away. All no fuss. The site is very clean, well looked after and teeming with local wildlife. There was no big road noise and very little overflying aircraft. There was dedicated dog walking area and we spotted some very neat looking glamping pods and some bigger lodges Also a big shout out for the book on demand bus service (go-too) that picked me up from the gate and whisked me into the middle of Nantwich on several occasions and then there is a jewel in the crown, The Cafe. dog friendly and delicious food. A real winner In short a fabulous marina, and justifiable multiple winner of marina of year. Thank you David and the whole team for making us so welcome. I hope many more people get a chance to share the experience”

“We’ve come to a couple of Sen sessions and the staff are always helpful and accommodating. Great fun for thrill seekers tubing, There’s a cafe too for that all important brew.”

“Great place for water sports. We took our own SUP which was only £12.50 each for the day. There is parking, clean toilets, changing rooms, a hose to rinse off your board afterwards and a outside shower to rinse yourself off. Nice friendly staff and you can hire SUP, canoes etc with taster sessions. Such a great day would recommend to anyone.”

“Lovely walk along canal very well looked after, lovely people to talk to and very dog friendly. Lovely place to sit and watch the barges going through the crossing.”

“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”

“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.”

“Pleasant walk through woodland. Ideal walk with, or without dog.”

“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”

“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.”

“A beautiful little area. Such a pleasant place to walk around.”

“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.”

“Enjoyed a nice walk through the hills at this place - signposted slightly oddly from one direction as the sign is beyond the entrance, but we managed to find it in the end and walked to the top of the hill to be rewarded with an excellent view. There was one slightly odd track that took us down the back of people's gardens, was very overgrown and then got to a part that was completely blocked by one person's fence, so we had to turn around and go back. Not sure why the entrance to that is still available as I would've thought it'd be better to block that part as well, or at least put up a sign!”

“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.”
