"Parking is an absolute nightmare where the car park machine is a joke it's card only but you have to stand there and physically put all the details in scan your card and wait for it to give you a ticket when we went there was a huge queue we waited well over 15 minutes just to get to pay the car parking."
"Only drawback is that you have to pay for carparking, which is wrong."
"A shame there's limited parking with a fee to pay."
"The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the cafe only accepts cash."
"The toilets which are feeling old and can be quite smelly, and the playground for smaller children needs an update."
Scenery and Walks
Pros:
"Great views from the upper areas. Brilliant for walking the dog."
"Short (2 mile) walking circuit, with fabulous views over the whole of Birmingham and more importantly, you can see the Cotswolds, Malverns, Shropshire Hills and on a clear day parts of the Brecon Beacons."
"Stunning views of the countryside from all around, lots of dog walkers and ramblers."
"Beautiful, with lots of different walks to choose from."
"Excellent outdoor area with several walking routes available to explore."
"Great trails through the hills looks on neverending walk, as a part of bigger adventure."
"Spectacular views beautiful countryside."
Cons:
"Not the prettiest place with the pylons etc but we had a decent walk and hope to return soon."
"Was always put off by this place due to its proximity to the M5, the M5 is ever present."
"Definitely dog-friendly, and a great place for kids as there is an outdoor playground and also a cafe. Regarding walks, be mindful that it is quite muddy and some footpaths have been cut off."
"Wellies are a necessity during and after wet weather. Even light rain for a day or so turns the lower slopes by the car park into a soggy mess."
"Parts were extremely muddy and water logged so need to wear appropriate clothing."
"The hills themselves are rather steep and uneven and might not be ideal for everyone."
"I will never understand why in Great Britain whenever there is a piece of nature they build motorways so close to it that you can't escape the noise."
Play Areas and Activities
Pros:
"It is a lovely place for any age, they have a play area for children."
"Great little natural play area for 2-14 year olds with a cafe and toilets open all year round."
"A good place to get some fresh air. Good playground for young children, plentiful supply of picnic tables."
"Great place for walking your dogs... Got a nice park play area for the kids, and a nice visitor centre, that serves hot and cold food, plus drinks."
"For younger children there is a playground area. Something for everyone."
"Theres are large play area for kids at the entrance that's pretty good, felt nice and safe and well thought out."
"A spacious playground for the kids to enjoy as well as a picnic area with benches."
Cons:
"The zip wire on the play areas gone and been replaced by less health and safety risk climbing structures."
"Sadly a few visitors upset the beauty of this magical area. As dogs off leads in the playground/picnic area put people off visiting."
"It's a lovely closed in little park with a separate but attached area for little ones, well maintained and got a good few things for the kids to play on."
"The only concern that some dog walkers have is the fact that some of the fields have cows in them and their calves can get spooked by the dogs."
"Be careful if your dog is off lead there are sheep in some fields and dog got covered in sheep muck."
"Sometimes there is cattle in the fields so be careful if you have your four legged friends off the lead!"
"Also a fair bit of litter left by irresponsible chavs."
Parking
Pros:
"The car park is quite spacious."
"Plenty of space for parking."
"Car park was quite busy, but there is an overspill area."
"Has its own little car park which is great."
"Parking was free as machines were out of order."
"Ample parking."
"Plenty of parking."
Cons:
"Parking is an absolute nightmare where the car park machine is a joke it's card only but you have to stand there and physically put all the details in scan your card and wait for it to give you a ticket when we went there was a huge queue we waited well over 15 minutes just to get to pay the car parking."
"Only drawback is that you have to pay for carparking, which is wrong."
"A shame there's limited parking with a fee to pay."
"Remember one thing, parking is not free."
"However if you just want to take your dogs for a walk (even for an hour) you will pay £2.20. This is the minimum payment. It's £3 all day."
"The one problem was we did not have the £2 cash to pay for the parking and there wasn't an option to pay by card or an app."
"Knocked a star of for the minimum £2.20 parking fee, I can understand a nominal fee of a pound but it really deters me from coming here to walk the dogs multiple times a week."
Cafe and Food
Pros:
"A nice cafe with lovely friendly staff."
"Amazing sausage sandwich with red onion marmalade on granary at the end."
"On site cafe serves homemade cakes and hot coffee for reasonable prices."
"Food is good from the small cafe...cheesy chips are well earned after a walk around the hills!"
"The log burner was on, food was great as well as the service from the two very pleasant ladies who were chatty and very helpful."
"The Windmill Cafe is lovely as well. Real fires on colder days and super helpful and friendly staff."
"A great cafe that is really cheap."
Cons:
"I think they must use a very hot oven as most of our food was burnt."
"The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the cafe only accepts cash."
"Café is just a fast food waggon which seems a shame as there are enough buildings there that they could have a lovely little cafe."
"The cafe, whilst having a good selection of cakes their quality wasn't brilliant, it also let itself down on the tea."
"Popped in for a coffee. Found the older staff rude."
"They do a sit down food in the cafe which is ok, but the place is literally like a barn and a little on the cold side."
"The coffee is not great though. Really weak and milky. Have the tea. The tea is lovely."
