Blackleach Country Park

A good little country park — attractively laid-​out with some well-​marked walks, and with good facilities too. There is, of course, a Visitor Centre where the wardens hang out, we have always found them to be helpful and friendly, and the occasional special event we’ve attended (for the kids) have been extremely well organised. Children aged between 3 and 10 particularly enjoy the adventure playground it’s not your normal swings-​and-​slides setup, it’s a series of wobbly wooden bridges and balancing runs all thoughtfully designed to complement its woodland setting. Car parking is more than adequate and apart from one occasion last November when we witnessed some low-​level anti-​social behaviour involving fireworks we’ve always enjoyed our visits!

Our two are aged 3 and 5 and they particularly enjoy the adventure playground: it’s not your normal swings-​and-​slides set-​up, it’s a series of wobbly wooden bridges and balancing runs all thoughtfully designed to complement its woodland setting.
