Description
Wildlife
The trees include avenues of mature limes and horse-chestnuts as well as many berry-bearing species, providing food for birds and other animals. A good range of common breeding birds can be seen in the park.The lake supports breeding mute swan, Canada goose and tufted duck. Great crested grebes are regularly seen. Despite the water being rather over-full of plant life and hence lacking in oxygen, carp swim in the lake.Facilities
Playground; trim trail; cycle track.
