Laura Reynolds Huge Slides, Tiny Railway: Why To Visit Wellington Country Park
If you ve got kids of varying ages, you know how hard it is to come up with a day out that ll keep them
all happy. The answer lies a few miles outside of Reading, where fairies, dinosaurs and goats roam, and playgrounds and a miniature train can all be found in close proximity.
Wellington Country Park, affectionately known as Welly , is very cleverly designed, with families at the forefront of everything it offers.
The residents are
very friendly
Situated around a lake in very natural surroundings, it s an outdoorsy day out. That s not to say you need walking boots and a hiking pack all areas are accessible for families with a pushchair or toddler in tow, and dogs are allowed in some areas too. Rather, as you wander underneath trees, and alongside the lake, it s easy to forget that you re close to the thundering main road between Reading and Basingstoke.
