Highlights
  • Oakfield Park - The grounds include a host of sites for families, couples and friends to explore, including walled gardens, ponds, lakes, a lakeside Nymphaeum, a hedge maze, heritage trees and sculptures. Children can make a wish at Oakfield Park’s Faerie tree, while navigating their way through extensive walks and trails.

Oakfield Park’s crowning glory is a 4.5km miniature gauge railway with a diesel train operating passenger trips daily. This is a magical way to explore the park’s gardens as the train passes through flower meadows, beautiful woodlands, willow tunnels, oak circles, boardwalks, heritage trees, a wooden causeway and sparkling streams and lakes. On the last sunday of every month is Steam Sunday, with the steam train operating all day.

After a day rambling around the parklands, visitors can refuel in Buffers Garden Restaurant, which is open daily and serves a delicious selection of home baked goodies, light bites and meals – all created with produce from the park’s gardens.

Family, camera and pocket friendly piece of paradise.. - Highly impressed with our entire experience! From the car park to the toilets, the playground to the train station and every inch of the walkways throughout, this place is lovingly cared for and proudly represented by a truly amazing team.. Every single encounter we had with every staff member was a reminder that genuine, sound, engaging and caring workers are still to be found -and Oakfield Park have certainly picked the best... The beautifully maintained walkways, the amazing structures and sculptures, and the little visual treats hidden throughout the grounds kept adults and kids constantly in awe and entertained -all without a single point of pressure to spend more money.. We also ate in the Buffers restaurant which not only boasts a menu that would be at home in any gastropub but also delivers in spades... in fact we'd return without question for the quality, service and value here alone.. All in all a fantastic day out and a truly hidden undersold gem -maybe that's actually part of the secret..

Wonderful Time on the Grounds - We went in the rain and road the tiny train after a nice lunch at the canteen. The walk about the lower gardens was nice but a bit muddy. The afternoon cleared a bit and we trekked to the upper gardens. What a great garden with overwhelming beauty all about.

Do not miss this - We had a lovely day at the Park. The facilities are excellent and thr food in the restaurant was gorgeous and fairly priced. There are ample photo opportunities across the two gardens. Staff ate very friendly and helpful. Give yourself a.full day to view the gardens properly. The train is a lovely treat for your and old. Do yourself a favour if your in the area take a visit.

Just perfect - Absolutely stunning, my boyfriend brought me here as I’d never been and I can honestly say it was beautiful 💁🏼‍♀️ all ages can enjoy this place. We were lucky to get a lovely sunny day, and enjoyed a soft whip cone from the little truck. My only little constructive suggestion would be the little vintage truck. It would be better if it was mand at all times instead of having to go into the coffee shop to get the girl from the till there to come out. Plus having to walk across back into the coffee shop to pay wasn’t ideal as the ice cream in your hand was melting away whenever you just wanted to be sitting down and enjoying it. But it’s not a big deal. We throughly enjoyed our day, thank you 💁🏼‍♀️
