Conkers Waterside

Highlight • Lake

Conkers is great day out with a young family. Lots of outdoor walks, adventure playground, cafes, indoor adventure area and more. My kids loved it.
Conkers is in the National Forest and sits on several of the National Forest trails and other footpaths. The Conkers Circuit (5m) is a favourite of mine for a gentle morning stroll.
