We went here after seeing it advertised on fb, great day out and all for the cost of parking, which is cash only but you can pay at the counter in the gift shop by card before 5pm. (£5.60) We took a picnic, enjoyed a walk with a stop at the assault course which the kids loved then a stroll back to the park which includes a water area so pack towels and costumes as I didn’t know about this area so the kids went in their underwear. After lunch went for another stroll and came across another assortment of activities that the kids enjoyed they was tired at the end of the day but a brilliant day out. Their is a cafe on site if you wish to eat their or enjoy a coffee outside on the decking over the lake. Great for all ages, will defo be visiting again!

Visited Easter weekend as eased Covid lockdown. A great parkland / reserve with free parking. Easily accessible and well maintained foot paths around the estate. Lots and lots of wildlife. Family and pet friendly and a great place to visit.

Visiting friends in the area, we decided to take a drive around the villages we once knew well from a time when we lived and worked in Northamptonshire. Our first stop was at East Carleton Country Park. Although it was not a school holiday, the popularity of the venue was obvious from the many cars parked, made more acute because the wet conditions meant the the grass areas were not available for parking. No matter, we squeezed into a parking slot and started off by a visit to the tea room. The ambience of the tea room was a bit lacking in charm, and the food looked a bit lonely, sat on hot plates. There were cakes and a few biscuits, but overall they are currently missing a trick in the attractiveness of the tea rooms. It did look as if some of it had been recently upgraded, and other parts were seemingly still midst repair, but even so, I felt more of an effort could easily be made. The park itself is extensive. Quite a few goodish paths means that the worst of the mud, on a wet day, can be avoided. The tracks are slightly undulating, without being testing, There are ducks (and gulls) to feed, on a pond, and a play area for children. There are some interesting bits of old machinery from the steelworks heyday, including a giant bucket from a drag crane, used for collecting iron ore.Sadly the demands of health and safety prevent youngsters climbing around these, which at one time would have been quite acceptable. But nice walks, lots of spring flowers, and time well spent and enjoyed. Well worth a visit, with glorious views of adjacent countryside.
