Most of the Country Park was originally farmland, although there were also brick works, clay pits and nailmaking sites. It is now a haven for wildlife and, therefore, a valuable educational resource for schools. The visitor centre has a room that is used as a classroom base/lunch area. There is also a small café and toilet facilities. Souvenirs can be bought from the information desk. Outside there is seating, a small playground and playing fields.
