Gaydon Playground

Honestly, not enough people know about this one. Tucked away in Gaydon near the site of a Roman villa, it’s got that proper old-school feel with solid wooden equipment — swings, slides, a zipline, tunnels, a sandbox, and a decent climbing structure that keeps kids genuinely busy. The open grass field means there’s room to actually run about, and parents get decent sightlines across the whole thing without having to hover. It’s well kept too, which isn’t something you can say about every playground round here.
