Great Buggy and pram walks in the Colne Valley Regional Park
A walk in the countryside is a great way to keep young children entertained, give them some fresh air, vitamin d, and stimulate their minds by bringing them close to nature.

Keeping the Colne Valley Park beautiful
It has been wonderful to see so many people really enjoying their local countryside and exploring new areas that they never knew existed.

River Ash Improvement Project
The River Ash is a distributary of the River Colne which flows for 10km between Staines and Shepperton. It was once a natural river but has been directly impacted by urbanisation resulting in many of the river’s natural features being lost and the valuable habitat it once offered to wildlife becoming degraded. The Colne Valley Regional Park has worked with Spelthorne Council, The Environment Agency and Spelthorne Natural History Society to successfully deliver a project to re-naturalise the River Ash adjacent to Bronzefield Prison in Ashford.
