Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    What i found very much astonishing was the liveliness of the museum. In my opinion this comes from the integration of children in the museum's activities.
    This place is a tip for both adults and kids.

    Absolutely stunning with the autumn colours. Fairly easy walk with plenty to see.
    Disappointed to find the cafe closed and the toilets locked .

    Great walks, with picnic benches, sprawling woodlands over different levels, there's a fast flowing weir with hidden waterfalls up in the woods. The woods offer good, winding climbing paths to stretch the legs. Get the dogs out, they'll love it.
    The park has good even footpaths too around the lake for walkers, bikes, pushchairs and wheelchairs. There's plenty of parking generally with a small parking space for disabled users right by the lake.
    Once the weather picks up expect to see the welcome sight of the Ice cream van.
    Just a lovely park, great for families, with a dedicated play area for kids. A great place too if you love birds. There are small stepping ponds where you'll spot frogs and pond-life in the spring.
    Why wait, so much to see and enjoy.

    Really good park to go to, I recommend it. The only problem is, the nearest toilets are about 5 minutes away from where we mostly were. One of the disabled toilets was dirty too. Apart from that, it was a really great experience.

    This park isn’t too far from where we live, but we don’t go there very often. There’s not loads to offer but on this particular day we wanted somewhere close by for a walk.

    Unfortunately, it was raining so it didn’t look at its best, but was still enjoyable.

    The gardens are very well maintained and there are items of interest around the place including statues of previous prime minister’s and local dignitaries as well.

    Parking is very easy on the road outside, and it’s free.

    This is a lovely hidden gem just off the main road, it doesn't take long to walk around but there is plenty of seating and some lovely views as you go around

    We all had such a lovely time at Skipadoos especially our pooch! Lots of well made agility equipment for photo opportunities as well as free poo bags provided.

    The field is very secure with extremely high fencing so no dogs can escape. The lady who runs the business greeted me and made sure everything was okay with our visit, I was also reassured that if my dog did start to dig at the fence she wouldn’t escape as they had even had it buried!

    The field is well maintained with fresh water available, a picnic bench inside the field and shelter too!

    The best part of the field is it’s seclusion it’s down a farm track so off the busy Scout Road and it also has its own hard standing car park right next to the field so my dogs could easily and safely get to and from my car.

    I will 100% be visiting again this is the perfect place for my nervous dog with half an hour slots perfect for my dog letting off some steam.

    I would highly recommend Skipadoos if you have a dogs that’s nervous, temperamental or isn’t very good at recall. It was lovely to let mine off knowing they were safe!
