We were genuinely surprised by how much this place had going on, Brueton & Malvern Park is huge and packed with stuff for every kind of day out.
Scooters, bikes, buggies; bring whatever you’ve got. There’s a smooth tarmac path that loops around the whole park, so it’s a dream for little riders (and easy pushing for pram life too).
Loads of space for picnics, ball games and roaming freely.
🦆 Nature Spotting & The Most Scenic Café
At the back of the café, there’s a proper little nature reserve with a bird hide vibe – we saw a buzzard fly overhead and the kids were buzzing. The café is all glass so you can sit with a coffee and watch the wildlife while the kids check out the bird ID boards on the windows. It’s peaceful but super engaging for little minds.
🌿 Play & Paddle
There are two good-sized playgrounds: one wooden one at the back of the café and another over the other side of the park with toddler frames, larger climbing frames, swings and a climbing web (which was different!).
Plus, there's a sweet little stream with a wooden bridge where kids can paddle or just play on the gravel 'beach' located at ///nearly.undulation.broad
They run loads of nature-based activities – from forest playgroups and after-school clubs to home ed sessions, all themed around the reserve and parkland.
