Large car park with lots of natural shade and picnic benches. Some potholes around the car park.
Mix of flat, some gradual slopes and some steeper hills. There are hard paths running through and around, as well as smaller paths crisscrossing everywhere. Can get very muddy in some paths, but the hard paths make it accessible all year round.
Some small streams running through, but nothing to swim in. Mostly just for splashing or getting muddy!
Bins at the entrance.
Picnic benches if you want to eat with friends, and a red squirrel hide where other birds can also been seen.
This is a lovely area to walk through, it's really quite large and has a great mix of hard paths and winding woodland trails.
It is a very popular area, so expect to see other dog walkers, families out with pushchairs, cyclists etc, but if you stick to the smaller woodland trails you can still be off exploring for ages without really bumping into anyone else.
There's lots of rarer birds and red squirrels around, so keep an eye open, and there's a red squirrel hide that's signposted in the middle-ish. There's more to explore than we did on this route, and you can make it shorter or longer by choosing different paths. The smell of the different flowers was fantastically strong on this day, but we were there Easter weekend!
