It's great for walking or cycling. Saturday mornings there is a regular park run event. Sadly the mobile cafe no longer sites at the car park after the council refused them further permissions.

Any pub that has a Blackadder-themed sign automatically gets βοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈ. The Prince Regent is on the sign, so maybe the landlord is a Mr E. Blackadder Esq., Mr S. Baldrick is the cellar boy and the cook is Mrs Miggins (just don't order the Scarlet Pimpernel Sauce).
