Details
At Marbury Country park you can wander along the mere with splendid views over the water to the church at Great Budworth, or explore the arboretum and community orchard. Children will enjoy the play area, close to the picnic area.
Many of the features of the Country Park, including the lime avenues and the arboretum, are a legacy of the days when Marbury was a grand estate. The last hall, built in the 1850s, was a fine looking house modelled on the French chateau at Fontainebleu, with an imposing carriage drive entrance.
Marbury Country Park lies in the heart of Northwich Community Woodlands where former industrial land is gradually being transformed to create a rich and green environment stretching from Marbury to Northwich.
Exploring further afield:
The park sits within the Northwich Woodlands, an area of 350 hectares of parkland to explore and discover. Its network of surfaced paths provides many routes accessible to all and appeals to a variety of users including horseriders, cyclists, nature lovers and families.
The park also links in with the North Cheshire Way and a number of national cycling routes.
Biking the Backroads is a gentle bike ride of 20km/13 miles around the lanes of Anderton and Great Budworth.
Cafe:
At weekends and bank holidays a van is present in the picnic area serving hot and cold drinks, and a variety of food and cakes which are all reasonably priced and lovely.
Accessibility:
There is a well-surfaced network of paths around the park. Many of these, particularly around the more formal areas of the park, are suitable for prams and wheelchairs. There are also plenty of seats along the way.
Car park open:
9.00am - 8.00pm in summer (1st April - 30th September)

We enjoyed a lovely walk here with our dog when visiting family who are local to the care. There was plenty of lovely paths and routes to walk round with really nice scenery. There was a small cafe on the grounds that looked like it had great choice. Would definitely recommend. If you’re taking the car, you need to remember change as we nearly got caught out with having to pay for the car park!
