Plenty of walks and a car park. The park run is one for people to challenge and attend! Very large area with lots to do and see so a must visit for any dog walker.

Excellent pub with a friendly and welcoming feel to it. Coal fire and welcoming locals would recommend going for a drink.

had a great time been to many dog tracks around the country. I would say this stadium is one of the best for value for money and choice of fast food. Would deff recomend the super six on a Saturday night for a cost of £12

Had a great day here today, was recommended by a friend so thought we would book. We went in the corn maze which was great fun and got you looking for clues. We also did a bit of strawberry picking but they wasn’t many to choose but we had fun. My child is 13 and think if the children are older they would probably get a little bored. Definitely ideal for the younger children. Great place for a great day out.
