Hinchingbrooke Park - the park that has everything!

Hinchingbrook Park, just 2km west of Huntingdon, with 170 acres of land. It pretty much has everything you would want in a country park. It has a kiddies playground, a cafĂ©, visitor centre, large open playing fields, BBQ areas, picnic benches, an ornamental lake, a main lake, a woodland and an outdoor gym! I’ve never seen adults use outdoor gyms, but the children certainly like them. A mixture of paved, unsurfaced and the soggy bridleways added a lot of variety to the walks. In fact, we had a Forrest Gump experience, we did one walk, did another, added a bit to another and then we were done, having walked all of the paths in the park. £2 for 6 hours of car parking but it was worth it for such a stunning park, well kept with lots of dog bins (always appreciated by dog owners) and lots of friendly faces. We will be back.
