CRICKET PARK PATH 0.9 mile / 1.5km A route through mature woodland popular with walkers, joggers and cyclists.

Cricket was played here until the 2nd World War, when the pitch was ploughed in order to grow crops.

The path passes a large pond on the Marble Burn from where, in the late 1800s, a lade ran across the adjacent field to a water wheel in what is now the Visitor Centre. The wheel provided power for a saw mill.

This is an easy access route on a level, wide, surfaced path normally suitable for buggies and assisted wheelchairs and includes a Maths Trail (details from the Visitor Centre).
