Is Rising Sun Country Park free to visit?

Yes, completely free. Entry and parking are both free of charge. The cafe and any special events may have costs, but the park itself, including all walking routes and the nature reserve, is free to enjoy year-round.

How long does a walk around Rising Sun take?

It depends on the route. The Swallow Pond circuit takes about 20-30 minutes at a gentle pace. The woodland walk is 30-45 minutes. The full park circuit takes 60-90 minutes. You can combine routes to create any distance that suits you.

Can I walk at Rising Sun if I use a mobility aid?

The Swallow Pond circuit is the most accessible route - it is flat and firm-surfaced, suitable for wheelchairs and mobility scooters in dry conditions. The woodland paths are less suitable as they can become muddy. Blue badge parking is available close to the main paths and visitor centre.
