A big, easy forest park with a buggy-friendly 0.8km loop around the lake, where you'll spot ducks, moorhens and water lilies. There are the romantic ruins of Aylmer Castle and its walled gardens to explore, a playground and picnic area, permanent orienteering courses and miles of woodland trails. Free to enter, with card-only parking. A lovely all-weather leg-stretch near Kilcock.
