Reviews
This place is really good and only on our doorstep. Only explored about a mile up but if your kids love throwing rocks in the river you could spend all day doing just that. Easy route. Bring wellies if it has rained and you can stride in the river to the islands across. Car park is small but its without bays so Has potential for enough cars. I arrived in the mid afternoon and there was a few spaces left. Plus its free so bonus. Reccomend this place if you just want a simple stroll on a weekend before tea.
Lovely autumnal walk along the river through the woods. A little muddy in places and could be challenging for the more unsteady of us but that's just to be expected for a woodland walk. The dogs had a fantastic time leaping through the undergrowth and into the water.
Love this Riverside walk. Can walk from here right up to the A6 at Barton Grange. Ideal for dogs to cool down and get a drink. Good for families with shallow water, stepping stones, rope swing and picnic area. Very attractive. The car park is a little tight so arrive early at peak times. No bins so take your rubbish home!
Fantastic day out!! Parking isn't great worth going early. I'd take chairs due to the ground being peddled and very uncomfortable. House flies, ect, but expected anyway. Good for a day out with the kids or with the doggo.
Kids loved exploring the water, peddle skipping, and also met some new friends, too. Lovely picnic area. It's really beautiful scenery. It's worth the trip
I loved loved loved this place! It had a very nice atmosphere. We had a very pleasant walk along the river. It was a truly natural and relaxing place. The trail was easy enough. Suitable for people of all ages, including kids and elderly. Will definitely go back, maybe with a picnic next time :)
This is a beautiful walk by a river, perfect with dogs, lots of wildlife too, through woods on the way, highly recommended.
Great for dog walks, suitable for kids 4+ just because it can be long, uneven, and muddy. Enough to look at with benches by river.
Free car park.
Unsure if there is a route map to look at first we had to turn back at some point so didnt finish entire walk.
Definitely not suitable for prams/wheels pretty little area.
Note there is no phone service/signal at all which isn't necessarily a bad thing but something to be aware of x
Lovely walking spot. Small free car park so would get there early.
