Staunton Country Park

Staunton Country Park has received a bit of a makeover in the last year or so. A brand new tea room, interpretation centre, play area and car park are some of the best new features, as well as other restorations to the site of the old house and its follies. A walk around the lake will not take long, but you could easily spend a whole afternoon here with all there is to do.
