Rushmere Country Park is a large 400 acre area of woodland and heathland. There are lots of walking and cycling trails but our favourite is the sculpture trail which is an easy, all-access walk with fairy doors carved into trees and a giant chair. This has recently been expanded to make the walk a little longer with more sculptures of woodland creatures to find.

Right next to the car park and the Heron’s View Visitor Centre is a large grassy area with picnic tables where the kids can have a run around. The Tree Tops café is in the visitor centre and there is a lovely decked area outside here where you can sit and watch the herons nesting in the treetops. Next to the visitor centre you’ll find the play area and just around the corner from there is a really large slide built into the slope.

Parking: there is a large on site car park at a flat cost of £3 which is payable by bank card on exit.
