Great family day out! If you enjoy being in the great outdoors, going for walks through beautiful forests, then this is a must visit place.
I would say there are 3 main walks at steady family pace:
child friendly walk (with Gruffalo markers for kids to search for) approx 1/2 hr;
And two medium walks (approx 1hr & half & 2hr & half).
All walks start at same place and all routes are on various gradients. Worth knowing if have small children who like to ride their bikes as there will be places they would more than likely push their bike as gradient is quite steep at times so bear in mind.
On site there is a lovely cafe (serving home made cakes), a great outdoor play area for kids, plenty of grass areas and picnic tables to eat your own food and toilets. This is where this place loses a star for me. I have been coming for two years now, and the toilets still smell of sewerage. I can only assume that the underground pipe work has some issues. There are plenty of toilets but they are not cleaned regularly and loose tissue can always be seen on the floor. The loo's are clean don't get me wrong, but it's the smell... Big shame :-(
Also on site is a GoApe climbing experience. This is just a little further in the woods and is a separate thing. Car park cost £3 all day but you can easily spend a whole day there.
All in all a lovely day out walking round beautiful forests read more
