Country park

The Anglo-Saxon village, museum, visitor centre, and shop remain closed until further notice. West Stow Country Park is open daily (9am-7pm) and the cafe is open daily for takeaway refreshments (10am-4pm). The adventure playground, car park and toilets are also open.

Surrounding the Anglo Saxon Village and with 125 acres of unspoiled countryside, trails, heath and woodland walks, there is plenty to explore at West Stow Country Park.

For wildlife enthusiasts there are two bird hides and a bird feeding area as well as a lake and the River Lark with all the life that this attracts.

Please note that between 1 March and 31 July, all dogs must be kept on a lead throughout the country park to protect ground nesting birds.

Perfect for picnics on sunny days, energetic winter walks or an evening stroll. The park also boasts an adventure playground for children, this is an ideal family destination. Dogs are welcome in the country park, provided they are kept on a lead. Cycling is not permitted across the heath, around the lake or along the river.

Please be aware that dogs are not allowed in the Anglo-Saxon village, Museum or visitor centre, with the exception of assistance dogs, due to the presence of livestock and the archaeological nature of the site.

There is also food and drink available as takeaway from the café next to the main car park, along with toilet facilities.
