What travellers are saying
- Bishop-JonesBracknell, UK264 contributionsVisited this venue on a Saturday. 4 adults, 3 kids aging from 3-10.
We were lucky in that the weather was gorgeous. The wooded area around the tower offered great shade from the sun and heat.
We spent a good couple of hours hunting the wooden animals named on the toadstools - some are hard to find which just made us more determined. The kids had a smashing time searching! Also spent ages finding all the black birds.
The piano is a great addition and a wonderful surprise! Luckily the oldest child is musically gifted and can play so spent some time entertaining us all, along with others.
Views are gorgeous.
We didn’t go up the tower but it’s still rather spectacular looking at it.
Parking easy as there is a long side road with no yellow lines at all. Despite us visiting on a weekend, it was fairly devoid of visitors, I think I only saw 2 other small family groups.
All in all it’s a novel and beautiful location offering lots of fun for kids and to be honest, adults! We ended up more determined than the kids, to find all the statues!
Worth a visit. Take a picnic, chill out and enjoy passing the time.Written August 19, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Beautiful roses are interspersed with vegetables; a 'terracotta army'; elegant pond with waterlilies; - and for us, the intriguing glass sculpture exhibition. Thoroughly recommend a visit - followed by the excellent cafe, now extended with a marquee, serving delicious cakes and scones.Written August 31, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Laura_Basingstoke, UK15 contributionsMy friend and I visited the farm and had also booked a farmer experience session on Saturday. It was really good fun, got really stuck in with farming jobs and Elizabeth our guide was a lovely girl with great knowledge on the animals. Shop staff were also so nice! Lots of opportunities to pet and feed animals. Loved it!Written June 29, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Tom3 contributionsFar to busy with friends and families meeting up with no social distancing, Just using the children as a excuse to meet up at the cycle and skate park, Car park is always full with car noise to tail up the hill on the road and the tarmac is behold repair. Could be nice quite walk for a hour but far to many selfish People/Adults meeting there during the national lockdown.

The station open in 1864 before closing 99 years later and now serves as a nursery situated directly next door to Tescos. It is a fine building and worth a look. Visited 9th February 2025
