Jumbles Country Park Cafe

When you arrive there is a good car park although not huge so I can imagine it gets filled really quick in summer. The little cafe as you start your walk is lovely, nice to get either a hot chocolate for the start of your walk or an ice cream in summer. Follow the paths and this will take you around the reservoir or you can venture off to the right and go through the more wooded area, this is particularly lovely for me as there is a babbling brook along your walk with lots of water sounds and places for you and the dog to get close to the water. I would definitely recommend a walk around here with or without dogs and with or without children.

Great walk ‍ parking at the top carpark of Turton Road and walking down to shady Lane then turning left going to the farm then the boat house. Stopping of for a picnic on the benches by the side of the path lake great cheap day out. TIP.. it's about 4 miles walking distance from the top carpark and back the turain is uneven with different surfaces sensible walking shoes and drinks needed We even found a wigwam in the forest loads of wild flowers and nature at it's best

Excellent country park to take the kids, walks thru woodlands and villages,we were lucky to see a deer, plenty to see, places for picnic,cafe toilets and parking. mini waterfalls and wier. Moderate walk 6 miles in 5 hours

Great place to walk around. The walk around the lake is 2 miles long, and quite an easy walk. The pay and display machine was covered up, so not sure how much parking is usually. Clean toilets and a very reasonably priced cafe. There is also an information centre in the cafe building.

Went here for the first time Today. Had a lovely walk around and there are lots of nice little areas to rest/have a picnics or take in the views.

A lovely place for a beautiful walk around a reservoir. Has a car park, cafe, toilets and benches along the route. Restrooms: Toilets are at the car park. Quite cobweby inside but decent enough and usable. Dog-friendliness: Dog friendly route Picnic area: Has benches in parts along the route and a cafe. You could also picnic alongside the Reservoir

Perfect for a walk with the floofies,a car park is available and a cafe is open but check the times as I think its more daytime and weekends. Lots of benches available all the way round if you need a rest.

Brilliant place for a circular walk, couple of areas for dogs to swim and paths are fairly dry all year

This is such a lovely place and very popular with locals. The reservoir is very nice and surrounded by trees, which is great in the rain or sun for cover. There will often be boats on the water and people fishing. Canadian geese and ducks here that will come and say hello in the hopes of being fed. Great place for families and dogs. If you walk from the car park past the Cafe, you can walk around the Jumbles and come out on Grange Road. This will lead you to Ousel Nest footpath and back to the car park, via a green bridge. Please be aware that it is very steep from this bridge and the steps have no handrail, unfortunately. If you take a right over this bridge, away from Ousel Nest Rotary Trail, it will take you towards Upper Bradshaw Kingfisher Trail. This path is gorgeous along the river and coming out near The Crofters Inn. This path gets extremely muddy so caution and appropriate footwear is advised. The reason I have knocked 2 stars off is because it is not very well looked after by the Council. Some of the smaller paths are overgrown with stinging nettles be mindful if you have young children, overgrown footpaths veering off from the main path & the main path is often waterlogged in places. Some of the benches & picnic tables are surrounded by overgrown nettles/plants. I wouldn't recommend it for wheelchair users or prams, from personal experience unless your pram is a bit more rugged. There is a car park with toilets and a Cafe that serves food and drinks also offers dairy free milk.

A great place to enjoy the outdoors. Peaceful and easy to walk the path with apushchair. The cafe staff are very friendly, they accept card payments and serve hot and cold food and drinks as well as ice-cream. There is a large carpark as well with no parking fees.
