The Orchards

Find and follow our short, but interesting wilderness loop (wheelchair friendly) in the East Woodlands and you will discover another one of the small reminders of the park’s history.

Remnants of the old Victorian Privies, from the parks cattle market heritage. If you didn’t know privy is the old fashioned name for loo/toilet. What a thought…150 plus year old loo tiles and fixtures.

Please don’t think we have not upgraded since then, our modern loos are available beside our café.

Our larger West Woodland is filled with many tranquil paths to explore and many unexpected treats and surprises.

Look out for the Woodland Amphitheatre and its backdrop made of locally created murals. Whilst we are still searching for our own resident William Shakespeare, many fun and unusual presentations occur here.

Our Tree Circle Classroom can be found in this area and can be freely used during the park’s opening times.

There is even a secluded Pet Memory Wall located in these woodlands. Here many of our former doggie friends of the park are remembered.
