Country Park

Welcome to Bittesby Country Park, a harmonious blend of diverse wildlife habitats, agricultural, community space, and educational engagement. With a landscape led masterplan, over half of Magna Park North is dedicated to Bittesby Country Park and open green public spaces, including woodlands, meadows, and wetlands integrated as part of a sustainable drainage system (SuDS). This creates a habitat for diverse wildlife, providing a sanctuary for both nature enthusiasts and the wider community.

History

The history of the country park reveals a rich timeline of human activity spanning over 3,000 years—from Bronze Age burials and Iron Age farming to Roman settlements and a later medieval village that was eventually abandoned. Archaeological discoveries across the site highlight its long-standing significance as a place of work, life, and ritual.
