Traveler reviews
jo dan
β β β β β 5 years agoNice place to walk and not too crowded. Theres a few tables and chairs for a picnic. There's a play area for kids, a skateboarding area and nature trails. Walking down the promenade there is a statue of a sitting cow. There is also a cafe with outdoor seating and just before the promenade a Miller and Carter restaurant which isn't open at the moment. Please note that at half term or kids holidays it's difficult to get a parking space and the tables go quickly.
