Reviewed By Loverlache - London, United Kingdom
Lots of good routes around here - easy & short enough for young children with lots of rest spots. We did much of the Artroute 1 which passes many sculptures in the reserve that kids can climb on. In July we saw lots of dragonflies, butterflies, bees & birds. Including a very grumpy hissy swan! We just cycled away quickly :)

8. Gunpowder Park

Reviewed By kazzia2017 - Bridport, United Kingdom
Following a long drive to a London hospital, and kennels closed for lockdown, we needed to find somewhere on the way back to the M25 to "let loose the dogs of war". We found Gunpowder Park on Google. What a fabulous place! The dogs absolutely loved it too. Coming from the south coast we are spoilt with beauty and slightly snooty that places won't match up to our home county but we were pleasantly surprised! The day we went, there was a definite chill in the wind so a hot cuppa at AbFab Café was most welcome not to mention a "doggie cookie" each for the boys which made their walk special too.
9. The Firehouse Play Centre
