Red House Park is a lovely park with some great features, including the Grade II listed building, lakes, woodlands, and the Princess Charlotte memorial. Currently we don’t have a walking group in the park, which is a real shame, one that would benefit the local community, by keeping them active and help reduce isolation. Join us to help form and lead a walking group.
