A great place to visit especially with children. It has ample parking (2 to park all day - cash). Toilets in site, a play park and cafe plus there's usually an ice cream van in the middle area. The walks are good and the majority of the way in good /ok weather ideal for pushchairs too. Around the lake there are little areas to view the lake or fish and they have a couple of benches dotted around . We have enjoyed our visits here and a nice little something different for the kids.

Nice for a stroll, but most of it is along a fenced path with little room to ramble free. Enjoyed the Beowulf trail and its eerie sculptures, and meeting the sheep :) some good trees for kids to clamber up. Coffee at the info cafe was not great, so heads up!
I will start by stating we didnt go into the visitor centre but as a family ( and dog ) explored the walks...and we were impressed. Fair size car park, although we did note a lot of people parked 200 m before the entrance for free. The walks are clearly signposted, we went at a very soggy time of the year... so wellies were a must. Generally a lovely river and lake walk though, didn't note a lot of picnic areas but we didn't look for them. So in conclusion if you want a river lake country walk that isn't ridiculously long it's worth a visit, if you want a wooded, picnic walk try nowton park. We enjoyed our day.
Really enjoyed walking around West Stow. If you go, take your own food and drink - the café there is ridiculously expensive (1.60 for a can of pop!) and the lady running it the day we were there had a bit of an attitude. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt and hope it was just a stressful day and she was maybe trying to adjust to new track and trace rules. However, the park itself is great; scenery is nice and it's quite tranquil (although we did go on a rainy day!) and they have a lake walk which is lovely.
Brilliant Play Park with sand!. Excellent walks, a dragon, a gringle and a cafe. Parking is good price too and supports mobile payments.
