Sywell country park is well served by a couple of car parks, an upper and lower one. Charges are the same as the other country parks in Northamptonshire, in other words steep. There is no hourly rate, the fee being £3.00 for up to 12 hours. Annual passes are available for frequent visitors at a cost of £36.00 for one named park or £49.00 which covers five country parks. The other four country parks are Brixworth Country Park (aka Pitsford Reservoir), Barnwell Country Park, Fermyn Woods Country Park and Irchester Country Park.
The Pump House cafe that’s located next to the car park offers a decent selection of drinks and snacks with good opening hours. Ewelina and I had a real dairy ice cream in a waffle cone at the end of the walk. A toilet block is also situated near the cafe so there is everything a dog walker could wish for.
