West Stow #1

West Stow Country Park is a favourite place to take the kids for a Sunday outing, especially since they opened the new play area a few months ago.


It's really quite tricky to get up to the tube slide (which goes from the top of the left hand tower in the picture) - you have to climb between the two towers using the hand and footholds, but little Miss has mastered it now.

I quite like the walks through the heathland SSSI (and Here's a map).

On a hot summer's day the bit along the River Lark is a bit cooler as the river babbles cheerfully along.



Thence to refreshments at Angles cafe - a welcoming haven.


It's worth knowing that it is open only fom 11am to 4pm - that's caught us out a couple of times!
