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.

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.
