This well-known country park has lots going on, but you can also find quieter areas away from the visitor centre. Moors Valley has a mixture of habitats including coniferous forest, deciduous woodland, lakes, ponds, rivers, meadow and heathland which in turn support a huge variety of wildlife. The park covers 750 acres in total. Note that it is closed in the evening.
