Parks and Gardens

The region's second largest park features an adventure playground, football pitches, permit fishing and pleasure craft is for hire.

The Dyke on the Rye is large stretch of open water which is fed by water from the Abbey School grounds and allows permit fishing along part of the lake with pleasure craft for hire at the western end. The water spills over a waterfall and into a stream that flows out of the park toward the east. Children will love the little waterfall.

A lovely park that is free to visit and has plenty to keep everyone amused, including children’s play area, skate park, a bandstand, boat trips on the river, and water play fountains!

The setting includes a natural terrace with excellent views over the river Avon from the higher levels. There are plenty of open grassy areas, a lily pool, and lots of lovely trees and plants to enjoy. The park also has plenty of seating and picnic benches to use, plus a variety of artwork to appreciate, and historic features that include a bell tower and clarion.

This traditional Highland crofting estate is a diverse mix of Scotland?s most beautiful landscapes. It encompasses croft and farm land, woodland, moorland, villages, coastline, saltmarsh, lochs and offshore islands, and offers stunning views across the water to the mountains of Skye and Applecross.

A great park with a formal area, plus a wildlife conservation area. It also has a brook, duckpond, bandstand, and playgrounds with separate areas for different ages. Splashpad for kids in the summer. Free to visit.

It straddles Barbourne brook, plus it is close the river Severn, so there is plenty of wildlife to look out for including kingfishers, mute swans, grey squirrels and more. There is also a large pond with a number of ducks to feed.
