    About Atterbury Park

    Atterbury Park is an interesting area of parkland that sits adjacent to the Broughton Brook linear park. This park has footpaths throughout and is a great place to visit if you’re exploring the wider linear parks. The park has benefits to wildlife, with long grass areas and willow beds that provide plenty of habitats. There are sections of marshland with lots of vegetation as well as a body of water that will dry up during the warmer months of the year. Things to look out for here are wildflowers, birds and badger sets. 

    Broughton Brook runs throughout Atterbury Park, and you can follow this to travel on to other areas of parkland. It is a good place for dog walking, and there is seating within the park.
