About Hinchingbrooke Country Park
Fancy a walk through beautiful natural woodlands and natural scenery? Then head over to Hinchingbrooke Country Park, where nature meets family-friendly fun!
Located in the picturesque town of Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, this country park is a hidden gem nestled in the heart of England. With its stunning open grasslands, enchanting woodlands, and tranquil lakes, Hinchingbrooke Country Park offers a perfect setting for a memorable day out with the family.
Things To Do
The park has 170 acres of open grasslands, woodlands, wildflower meadows and lakes to explore, with designated walking and cycling paths and trails that wind through the picturesque landscape. The park's lush green grasslands provide the perfect spot for picnics, games, or simply soaking up the sun (when it's out!). Grab your blanket, unpack your picnic basket and let the kids run free while you enjoy the scenic beauty around you.
Psstt... if you are feeling brave be sure to check out Nuns Bridge (it's said to be haunted!).
The park is also home to a wealth of wildlife including birds, ducks, butterflies, dragonflies and other creatures just waiting to be discovered! What creatures will you spot? Oh! And make sure to stop by the lake! It's absolutely stunning and perfect for a little retreat away from the bustle of city life.
Play Area
The park also features 4 well-equipped play areas where children can let their imaginations run wild, climbing, sliding, and swinging to their hearts' content.
The sensory zone is perfect for toddlers and those in wheelchairs as it features nature-themed play panels and climbing equipment, along with musical elements for sensory exploration. The Grasslands play area was designed for children aged 5 and over as it has slightly more challenging climbing structures integrated into the natural grassland surroundings. The Wetlands zone features the Robina Play Duck for claiming and role play, while Squirrels Dray provides a toddler-friendly introduction to climbing and swinging.
Food & Drink
There are plenty of picnic areas around the lovely park for you to enjoy but if you are looking for a delicious cafe to stop by then you have to check out the Hinchingbrooke Country Park Cafe.
Choose from a delicious range of burgers, chips, jacket potatoes, toasties, cakes ice creams and more! They also offer hot drinks and cold drinks.
If you love an early walk then make sure to check out their yummy full English breakfast! They even have a veggie breakfast!
Accessibility
The park has a mix of hard-surfaced paths (suitable for wheelchairs and pushchairs) and unsurfaced paths. There are plenty of picnic benches dotted around if you need a quick break too. The cafe has a disabled toilet as well.
