Astley Park

The park stretches out over 43.75 hectares and offers families, friends, the young and the old a great day out. As you walk from one side to the other, you will find several walkways that lead you to beautiful woodlands where you can spot the snowdrop trail or stumble amongst the summer flowers. Why not make a pit stop on your way through the park and take in the views of the wildlife living in the pond with the beautiful fountain as the backdrop – perfect for a picturesque photo.
