• "Parking was free but I did see disused parking Machines (possibly for a future charge?)"
• "The place has got proper parking space, toilets and a café."

Cons:

• "Only thing is the cafe along with toilets closes early so although you can still use the car park and walk around the lake in the evenings, there are no facilities."
• "Coffee at the café quite acceptable but closes disappointingly early (5pm) just as summer strollers need their ice cream."
• "Some of the pathways are not wheelchair friendly. Especially between Bury Lake and Stockers Lake and near the waterfall in the river Chess."

Wildlife and Natural Beauty

Pros:

• "It's a beautiful and tranquil place, full of wildlife, great for bird watching!"
• "The first two lakes is more quiet walk with lots of beautiful birds to see. We even saw Grey Heron, what a beauty."
• "Around every corner there's something new. The walk along the canal is a total change to the paths around the lakes."
• "Fantastic place, great to get away from the city...lots of geese when I went but they were friendly and comfortable with humans walking right next to them."
• "It is very peaceful to walk in the woods. It took more than 3 hours for us to walk on one of the trails. It is very scenic and neat."
• "Beautiful places with 3 lakes. I love the lake with the birds the most."
• "This is such a lovely place. Ample opportunity for walking around large lakes..some a quieter than others."
• "A gorgeous nature reserve with two large lakes and a cafe. Dogs are welcome but not allowed in the water due to wildlife and birds must not be fed bread."

Cons:

• "Watch out for loose dogs, a big issue."
• "Unfortunately a lots of litter and plastics everywhere, so the place does not feel very clean."
• "You can walk and walk and...... as long or short as you like, but beware of the litter in some areas."
