Rother Valley Country Park

Love paying Rother Valley a visit! Have been there several times this summer. It’s only 25 mins drive from us so very convenient. There’s a beautiful lake to walk around - the walk takes us about an hour in all, but in the nice weather we have been stopping half way and having a picnic and reading for a few hours. You can take your own paddle boards etc and use the lake. You can hire pedal boats, motored boats, bikes and trikes. In the summer there’s a little train that goes round on one side. Ample parking, and if you have a Blue Badge you can park for free always, just have to show your badge at the office and they’ll make a note. Overall a really nice place to visit and walk. There are trails you can do as well, but as of yet we have not tried them. There’s also water inflatables and water skiing that you can pay to use in the summer. There’s a playground for the kids to play. Plenty of picnic areas. It is well looked after as well so always tidy. Oh, and plenty of ducks and geese to feed! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a nice day out or even just a nice lengthy walk with a pretty view.

Beautiful place plenty parking registration recognition for parking. Cafe few crafty shops toilets sheltered eating for outside indoor seating food decent prices. Ice cream man bit expensive. Lovely walk has different graded walks. Can buy food for the ducks. Has an online pub and food. Skiing boats cannos . Gets really busy in good weather. Make sure you take your sun screen. Lots of space for picnics/barbecues. Well worth a visit. ❤️

There's a car park.Drive down a very long road to the bottom.The postcode actually sent me on a wild goose chase down the wrong road, so use Google maps to find the precise location if you get stuck.Brown signs are also at the entrance.You'll go through a barrier.You pay when you leave as its ANPR.You can pay by cash or card at the machines before you leave, or by card at the barrier when you leave..Toilets available.Cafe available..A very pretty place which is brilliant for families.A concrete path enables easy walking around, suitable for buggies..You can walk all the way around the water.Brilliant for families, dog walkers , or outdoor exercise.There's also a water sports centre too.The cheapest parking cost is £1.50.Looks pretty, even in the rain !!

It's a lovely place to go with tons of stuff to do. The only downside is the café, I would not recommend anything that requires cooking. I made the terrible mistake of ordering a bacon bap and a sausage roll. I got 3 slices of pinky bacon... Nothing else. No butter, no mayo, not even a tad of love in it. The sausage roll had 3 massive sausages and again nothing else in it. Way too many for the ratio. They do provide some mayo in those small sachets, but I tried to open 3 of them before giving up. My advice? Don't bother serving any hot food and for any visitors, pack your own sandwiches (you'll save a fortune).

Lovely walk. Relaxing with lots of ducks and swans. Cafe nice with cheap cups of tea. The food is a bit more pricey.The playground is often very muddy and flooded. There used to be two play areas but for some reason they got rid of one, which is a shame. Having one closer to the facilities would be much better. There are lots of benches to sit and chat, but not loads of picnic tables.It is fun watching the water skiers.

Lovely lake and surrounding park land.Car parking is relatively inexpensive but there seem to be only 2 paystaions for what is a substantial area. There was a queue to pay, even late on in the day.Lots of activities for all ages....or just a walk around the lake.

Such a beautiful and stunning sunny day in Rother Valley. Had a nice walk around and is suitable for biking! They have got water sports! Good for picnic with water view and birds! There is a few food shops and car park was free over the weekend.

Beautiful place for a day. Lovely level walk around the lake on firm wide paths (very good for wheelchairs and mobility scooters). Nice cafe with plenty of outdoor seating. All the grass verges around the lake are nicely maintained. Nice secure play area for the kiddies, and numerous water activities on offer. Would go regularly if I lived closer.

A surprisingly warm day for October and Rother Valley was fairly busy. There is plenty of parking which is reasonably priced. You can call off at the cafe for some hot and cold food. However, they were not serving after 3 pm. This maybe due to the time of year. There is also a candle and archery shop, along with a shop that serves fresh handmade dog biscuits (not you average shop bought ones). The lakes were busy with hired boats and jet skis. You can also find a small museum that explains how Rother Valley was founded. There are plenty of lovely walks and not just around the lakes. The walks around the lakes are wheelchair friendly. If you are into bird spotting, there are plenty of places to take a pew and watch all the different types. It's well worth bringing a picnic and making the most of the outdoors.
