Brocks Hill Country Park

This page includes some of the features, areas of interest and different woods you will find if you visit the country park. Also listed are our community projects and details about guided tours of the park.

Over 18,000 native trees have been planted in the park since 1999 so the park appearance and habitats are constantly changing. The park has again been awarded a Green Flag Award in 2010/11.
