Country Parks revealed
A new guide gives local people and visitors to the county an insight into what can be found at Warwickshire’s Country Parks.
Encouraging people to get out and enjoy a breath of fresh air in the countryside, the new guide provides details of the array of Country Parks in the county, plus the Greenways in Warwickshire.
There’s even a list of walking and cycling publications included, together with an order form that people can use to purchase maps and books by phone or by mail order.
Warwickshire County Council’s Country Parks Visitor Manager Paula Cheesman said: “This is a great guide with a really fresh new look offering people all the basic information they need to visit Country Parks. All in all, there’s just about all the information that anyone could need to plan a day out in the countryside for some fresh air and healthy exercise.”
The bright green booklet is completely free of charge and is available from all Visitor Centres at Kingsbury, Ryton and Pooley Country Parks. It is also available in libraries and Tourist Information Centres as well as some local hotels and shops.
In addition to the new booklet, the Country Parks service will be producing a separate calendar of events from July – December 2009 detailing all the forthcoming holiday and weekend events taking place at Kingsbury Water Park, Ryton Pools Country Park, Hartshill Hayes and Pooley Country Park.
Nature walks, bat nights, treasure trails, den building, and the ever popular birds of prey events will be taking place again this summer, but visitors will also be able to take part in some exciting new events.
Paula added: “We aim to attract new visitors who perhaps have never been to visit our parks before, and this new booklet should help them discover what we have to offer.”
Anyone wanting their own free copy of the new booklet, entitled ‘Warwickshire’s Country Parks – a breath of fresh air’ should ring Ryton Pools Country Park on 024 7630 5592 or email: parks@warwickshire.gov.uk
