What a lovely park
What a lovely park. There are many different trails to follow which are suitable for buggies and wheelchairs.
Worth taking a picnic , as there is no cafe. Differently worth a visit.
Stover Country Park
My husband is disabled and uses an electric buggy; this Country Park is well laid out with fairly easy
traveling, some areas have wooden access piers where you can see a variety of wildlife. We went to see the Ted
Hughes poetry markers. Some were inaccessible for the buggy but we could see most of them. Excellent day out.
