Why it's Wildland
5.8A varied country-park landscape of open water, mature pine, mixed woodland and heathland, with walking and cycling trails alongside family attractions.
Black Park earns its place for the contrast packed into one accessible landscape: pine and mixed woodland give way to heathland and open water, while an extensive trail network offers room to explore. It is a lively, well-equipped country park rather than a remote escape.
