Great day out for the family! Pick your own berries, have a coffee and ice cream, play mini golf or play on the playground. The playground is under a big tree so it’s lovely and cool on a hot day.

Sightseeing
Great walk up to the top with view all around the bay. If you walk through the park there are often sheep/lambs roaming around which the kids love. Summer Hills on the other side also has free mountain biking trails.

A bit of a drive, but a beautiful park with lots of walks, a cafe, Marshalls animal farm and waterfalls. You can go on canoe tours at night to see the glow worms.

Mostly cows and sheep but a few random animals like ostrich. Great for the kids and a nice walk around. Buy some pellets to feed the animals. Love it when they have the piglets running around :)
