Shenley Park Trust

A hidden oasis of calm sandwiched between Shenley and Borehamwood.
I had no idea this huge park even existed. But it’s massive! I was there for the annual Apple Day — a family apple-​fest! This took place in the ‘Walled Garden’ where you could buy almost anything Apple related from the apples picked in the orchard on-​site while there were loads of various kids-​related activities to keep the younger generation entertained.
In general, Shenley Park is a great place to escape to the countryside with lovely vistas of the surrounding greenery.
There’s also a café and the food looked awesome but I couldn’t face anything having just eaten! Tagged onto the back of the café there is a kids playground to further tire out the little’uns!
Along with Trent Park, which is also close, it’s brilliant to have such amazing countryside effectively within London.

I absolutely love this place. Nature at it’s best. It’s easy to get to and Peking is not a problem around here.
It’s relatively close from the M25 so you don’t have to be a local to enjoy coming here. It’s near quite a lot of amenities and a café/​cake shop is located just at the front.
It’s also a walk away from a few village pubs in Shenley that you can go to after to enjoy a relaxing drink!
