Sywell Country Park centres on a large reservoir ringed by walking trails. The Reservoir trail is a 2.5 mile circuit; the shorter Waterworks heritage trail is 1km and explores the park's water management history. You'll find a small arboretum of exotic trees and Edwardian buildings scattered through the grounds. The Pump House café serves coffee, homemade cake and ice cream, with an indoor soft play and toddler play area beside it. Dogs are welcome off lead in designated areas. The park is dog-friendly but cycling is not permitted.
