Ferry Meadows is to us a gem of a site even if at times it can be very busy. there is so much to see and do in the area. with the park on the doorstep it is great for walking, cycling or just sitting watching the wild life. or you can have a boat trip along the river or around the lake . further over is the water sports centre for all sorts of daring-do. although i don't have a dog it looks amazing for dog walking. i personally don't like such long leads i see people using. dogs are simply not under control on leads nearly stretching up to four metres. that's just me. overall Ferry Meadows is a great place to visit whatever is your own particular interest. i would be back in shot if my other half said yes.
