About the Park

The Seven Sisters Country Park is a popular place with anyone interested in enjoying outdoor activities in unspoilt countryside. Cycling, canoeing, walking and birdwatching are all popular ways to spend time in the park, both for holidaymakers and educational groups. In the past, there were camping facilities for the general public, but now, the campsite is only available by pre-arrangement for educational groups. People wishing to visit the Seven Sisters Country Park as part of a holiday, will need to stay in one of the nearby towns or villages instead.

Anyone visiting the Seven Sisters Country Park for the first time should pay a visit to the information centre first. Between April and October it is open seven days a week, and contains a wealth of information about the area. Located in an 18th century barn, the helpful and knowledgeable staff can suggest which may be the best walks at different times of year, where various types of wildlife can be found, and other relevant facts.
