This is a beautiful park with the Thames running quietly alongside. There is loads to do here; for children there's an adventure playground, there's Go Ape - a woodland treetops trail (harnessed), Pitch and Put a mini gold area, and a wood fired pizzeria frequented by Adele and her child! Ducks to feed, miles to walk, and a lake with pedallos. There's a zoo, designed for children, and bikes to rent.
