    Hired a bike and went for a ride arounf the forrest, highly recommend as its very scenic but a certain level of fitness is required...

    Great little place. Beautiful visitor centre with a large cafe. Walks are also stunning with so much greenery and wildlife to see. Came during a weekday, so was relatively quiet and ample parking Kids play area outside of the cafe and lots of picnic benches outside.

    A lovely place for a walk around the nature reserve where we saw roe deer, birds and many butterflies and dragonflies. Good cafe too.

    A lovely place to walk and enjoy the views across the lake. At the moment it's not possible to walk all the way around the lake as some of the pathway is closed due to safety issues. Still worth a visit. The cafe offers a good range of light meals and there's a great play area for the children to enjoy.

    Very nice visitor centre with cafe and shop. Nice walks around the lakes and area with plenty for kids to see and do. There is a wildlife area with nature reserve that you do have to pay to visit and no dogs are allowed in there. There are hides where you can observe wild down the lake. We saw deer, rabbits and plenty of wild birds. Lots of car parking spaces but you do have to pay cash or contactless. Toilets inside and outside including disabled.
