Bancroft Park

This is a nice 1 hour walk, plenty of friendly dogs and owners allow socializing. There is a Roman Villa to look around, the gravel path leads around a stream and meadow area. At the Bradwell end you can walk up to the concrete cows, although if your dog(s) aren't used to being off leash then put them on the lead at that point due to a busy dual carriageway (Monks Way). If you continued under Monks way, you can follow the Redway to Bradwell Abbey, a Norman abbey with a chapel still standing. back toward Bancroft there is a small wooded area following the railway back into the park. Squirrels, rabbits, jays, woodpeckers and other birds can be seen/heard.
