It’s location makes it convenient for visitors who travel to Hertford and want to get out of the busy city life, yet still be close to the exciting & recreational park features.
The best part of Leavesden country park is the amazing experience it provides to each visitor. The large playing area offers a great place to jump, run, tackle obstacles & have fun with other children. It’s easy to overlook the heritage trail that comes in at the end of the wide asphalt playing area. Inside you will find a very small and charming store with photos and information on the history of the location and its heritage. The store is operated by volunteers from the community, so it’s a great way to support local businesses and bring in some money for a good cause.
If you’re looking to get to Leavesden country park, you can take a bus or taxi. Buses go to the park, as do taxis. The easiest way to get to the location is to take the taxi. The lane that runs through the parking lot of the park has a sign that says “beware of dog” so keep dogs on a leash while you are inside. The lane also leads to the Ambleside Children’s Zoo, which is free to enter and offers many different attractions. Once you are inside, you may want to visit Abbot’s Langley Park, which is the largest children’s park in the UK.
The nearest hotel to the Leavesden Aerodrome is the Watford hotel. The bus station is quite close, as well, and it’s just a walk to the Ambleside Children’s Zoo.
