Cotswold Country Park & Beach

About

Nestled in the heart of the Cotswolds, Cotswold Country Park & Beach offers a day‑long adventure that blends natural beauty with a lively array of activities. The park’s signature attraction is the UK’s largest inland beach, where sun‑bathing, sandcastle building, and beachside dining create a relaxed coastal vibe without the crowds of a sea resort. Beyond the shore, South Lake invites visitors to paddle, kayak, or simply stroll along scenic shores lined with willow trees. For thrill‑seekers, AquaVenture – a high‑octane inflatable obstacle course – delivers heart‑pounding jumps and slides, while the park’s mini‑golf, climbing wall, and pedal karts provide family‑friendly entertainment. On quieter days, the park’s nature trails, bird‑watching hides, and picnic spots cater to those who wish to unwind amid wildlife. Admission includes access to the beach, water‑sports areas, playgrounds, and the park’s food outlets. Guests can pre‑book online for convenience, as parking is limited and on‑site parking isn’t available. The park’s welcoming staff ensure safety with lifeguards during opening hours (9:00 am‑5:00 pm, Monday to Sunday) and provides a variety of hire options – from Swan Pedaloes to electric mini‑ports – for those who want to experience the lake up close. Whether you’re a family with children, a couple seeking a serene escape, or an outdoor enthusiast looking for a mix of adventure and scenery, Cotswold Country Park & Beach delivers a memorable and versatile British countryside experience.
