Dinton Pastures Country Park is a 350-acre country park, situated in the heart of Wokingham. It is an oasis of woodland, meadow, and lakes in the midst of the most urbanised part of the Thames Valley. The Country Park consists of multiple lakes, ponds, rivers, and streams, with footpaths and meadow to explore. The Country Park is accessible 365 days of the year, with car parks open every day. We are part of Wokingham Borough Council and manage California and Dinton Pastures Country Parks, and approximately thirty other countryside parks and nature reserves.

White Swan Footpath Upgrade

We're upgrading the White Swan footpath, starting Monday 30th September. The work will take approximately 3 weeks, with some minor disruptions as we close sections of the path to complete the upgrades.

Here's a breakdown of the project:

Phase 1 (5 days): From the overflow car park to the River Loddon bridge. We'll be leveling the current path and tarmacking the route.

Phase 2 (9 days): From the overflow car park to Herons Water Lake. This phase also includes levelling the path and tarmacking.

Phase 3 A few weeks later, we will finish with tarring and pea shingling both sections. This final step will take a couple of days.

The upgraded path will be to the same high standard as the Black Swan route completed two years ago.This project is fully funded through the revenues raised by our country parks, ensuring we continue to reinvest in the services that matter to you. 

Thank you for your patience during this improvement – we can't wait for you to enjoy the upgraded path.

Mortimer's Meadow

Over the weekend, we welcomed our first cattle as our summer grazing kicks off once again in Mortimer's Meadow and Mortimer's wet meadow. We kindly ask everyone to keep their dogs under close control or choose to walk around the outside of the meadow if they feel uncomfortable being in the field with our cattle. Please note: gates have been placed over the cycleway access points and will remain there until the end of the summer. Thank you for your cooperation.
