Coombe Abbey Country Park<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday I finally managed to go for a walk at Coombe Abbey Country Park. I loved it \u2013 absolutely loved it. There were a number of different paths to ramble around, some had more people than others and all of them were lovely. I can\u2019t wait to take some of my friends there. There were some parts where it said it was ok to be off lead and others where it wasn\u2019t. There were squirrels to chase in both areas so that was good too. We ended up going round some of the paths more than once, partly because Mum was talking to her friend and not paying attention and partly because we could and it was fun. In total we walked 4.25 miles, so although I\u2019m behind on this month\u2019s target that definitely helped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dog friendly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a big car park, which you pay to park in. The visitor centre also has a dog friendly caf\u00e9. I was a bit overexcited at that point so Mum thought it better not to take me in. I still standby the German Shepherd gave me a dirty look before I barked, but Mum still wasn\u2019t impressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The paths are flat and well made up so not really muddy underpaw and they would be fine with a pushchair or wheelchair too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christmas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

They were busy setting up for Christmas when we were there, putting up lights and setting up a massive sound system. The event only runs in evenings when it\u2019s dark, but Mum says she\u2019s going to wait to arrange my walk with friends until it\u2019s out of the way. It\u2019s a shame, but as there are cables everywhere that\u2019s probably a good idea. Dogs aren\u2019t actually allowed to the light and sound show, but I didn\u2019t really want to go anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go Ape<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a Go Ape there, which is the sort of thing Dad likes. It\u2019s where you can swing on ropes and climb up through the trees. Mum said that even though my nickname is Wild Wilma the closest I was going to get is sitting next to their gorilla. It\u2019s a shame as it all looked huge fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
