Melford Country Park

Lovely place for a quiet walk in the countryside

Had a picnic here and there were plenty of picnic tables to choose from. Also good parking facilities and toilets.
Lots of walks to take, but we were short of time, so will be back to explore more.

Sadly it was the last day of a little snack and tea bar, which had decided to stop trading due to various issues . So we missed out on that and am sure locals and regular visitors will be sad to see this go, having seen many people come and go that day with their dogs and families.

A lovely natural park, but we were intrigued by the strange noise as we sat having our picnic. We discovered later it was the traffic going over the metal bridge, which was the other side of the hedge, running along side the road .

We will definitely go back.

Very pretty little park, very clean and a lovely place to take the dog for a stroll. Was muddy in places due to recent wet weather but that was mainly by the river. Nice car park and plenty of dog poo bins. Would definitely recommend for dog walkers and families with young children as the wildlife sighting opportunities are plentiful

I have always loved comming to melford country park. Espccialy in the spring when I can hear all the birds sing. It is a butiful park with walks in all directions. It is a tranquil place with seats and a seasonal cafe.

Beautiful little park for a wander. Runs alongside the river and has a large pond/mini lake with well trodden paths meandering around the largely wooded park. Lots of points worth stopping to take in the views. Den building area. Several picnic tables spread out and dotted around a very pretty area close to the free parking. The grass in this area is also cut if preferred. Tiny cafe nestled by a pond in the trees is another nice spot to take refreshment. As is the Nethergate brewery just around the corner.

Only a brief stop to stretch my legs, but this park looks beautiful and I will certainly be back for a proper walk one day.

Shame that the toilet and cafe were closed, but today was Easter Monday.

This was 1st time back here for well over 30 years, and not much has changed, which is a very good thing. We used to come here as a family back then with a picnic and a ton of energy to run off and happily get my kids doing the same. There are toilets on site in the large free carpark. Thos is popular with dog walkers and ramblers alike. If you're feeling a bit more energetic, you can walk or cycle to here from Sudbury along the old railway line, which is level and straight too, so excellent for your younger children to use.
Highly recommended country park.
