Peatlands Park

Great place for walking or running. The Peatland park is located just off the M1 at junction 13. There's a visitor centre, good carpark, miniature train, children's play area, toilets, two nature reserves, a bog garden, ponds and a lake. There are 5 colour coded walks ranging from 1 to 5 miles. The red trail is 5 miles and takes you around the whole park. The play area, visitor centre, train and picnic area are handily close to the carpark. Good to visit any time of the year, but would be best in the summertime.

Peatlands Park is a captivating sanctuary, offering a unique escape into nature. The lush peatland landscape is mesmerizing, and the well-maintained paths invite exploration. Wildlife sightings are delightful, especially the diverse bird species. The raised boardwalks provide an educational and magical experience. The facilities are great, with clean restrooms and convenient picnic areas. I have to me too that some of the signs are a bit mossy and hard to read. A must-visit for nature enthusiasts seeking a refreshing escape. Can't wait to return!

Gorgeous! A great walk around 6 miles the longest.

Beautiful spot to walk and take kids , large park kids loved it , lots of walks , wee train doesn't seem to be in action sadly , and there is areas that are neglected. Worth a visit .

Adventure Ridge Park is a thrill-seeker's paradise! The zip lines and obstacle courses provide an adrenaline rush, and the hiking trails offer breathtaking views. It's a great spot for a family day out, but be prepared for a bit of a workout. Safety measures are top-notch, which is reassuring.

Really nice place for a walk. Plenty of room to explore and run around. Anyone interested in nature or the outdoors would enjoy it. Kids loved the ducks and watching dragonflies, butterflies and caterpillars. Just a pity the train wasn't running. Lovely, sunny, hot day in the middle of summer holidays with plenty of families about, missing a trick. Also the main toilets were out of order due to technical difficulties" but they have a couple of portaloos and accessible toilet was open."

Stopped here by chance and absolutely loved it. Gorgeous bogland and mixed forests. Excellent children's playground. Decent loos. No teashop which is fair it was a very quiet spot. The bog garden was a particular highlight the board walks allows you to see all the detail of the bog even after heavy rain, which would normally be inaccessible. Great signs explaining the habitat including the carnivorous plants. Hidden gem highly recommend.

A great place to get get head clear so well keep place very family friendly

Lovely walks around the park with the longest being 5 miles. Allegedly it should take 1.5 hrs to do the 5 miles. Lies, pure lies lol! There’s plenty of parking and toilets at the visitors centre which were open even though the visitors centre was closed on Easter Sunday. Great play park for the kids too. Walks are not really suitable for the less abled bodied due to a mix of track - tarmac, boardwalk, stony uneven parts and wood chipping. There’s a train that takes you around the park that you need tickets for - unsure of the price. Some of the signage needs refreshed and cleaned - hard to read some signage and the red markers aren’t so red now. There’s a few seats along the earlier parts of the walks but few later on when you probably need it. Also, it would be helpful if there was a some indication on the long route of how far you’ve got to go as a motivator. The car park looks like it has security cameras up which is really helpful.
