Whether it’s dog walking, cycling, or family picnics, this green corridor offers a daily dose of nature right on your doorstep.

Just to the north, you’ll find the Stoke Park Estate — home to the iconic yellow Dower House — a vast expanse of parkland with far-reaching views and walking trails.

There is also the respected independent Collegiate School, offering private education from nursery through to sixth form.
