Your day out starts here…

The Village Green is the at the heart of the park next to the Wat Tyler Centre. Edged by historic, picturesque thatched cottages it's a perfect spot to relax with a picnic on a sunny day, or to start exploring 125 acres of open air adventure on our walks and trails.

Don't be surprised if you stumble across a happy couple embracing on the Green. The heritage barn on the green is a highly original wedding venue.
