A short circular walk around Cosmestion Lake taking in a good play park and a cafe.
You need to pay for parking, but Cosmeston Lake and Country park is well worth a visit. It features a large lake with lots of wildlife, as well as forest tracks, open fields, a good play park and a cafe.
The main loop around the lake is on good paths and boardwalks, so is suitable even after bad weather. The park can get a bit muddy in places though, but it is fully featured for kids and normally has a couple of coffee vans next to it as well for refreshments.
You can extend the walk in many different directions if you want as the area is covered with paths and public rights of way. A good day out with the kids in summer, but still worth a visit all year round as well.
