"There isn’t much parking here which can cause abit of an issue when trying to leave as people may block you in."

"Super wooded Park with various paths to choose as you walk round."
Cons:
"A lot of the equipment is very high up so inaccessible to kids under about 8 unless parents are constantly helping."
"Paths can get muddy in the wet."
"Not really suited for wheelchairs on the pathways as not concreted just compacted earth and gravel."
"The playground is good for younger kids aged 4-6, though would not keep older children challenged for very long."
"Used to visit frequently when I was young, glad to take my children and dogs, but a lot of the longer routes seem to have been replaced with multiple shorter ones."
"Some areas are prickly and can be muddy on the longer trails."
"If you want a long walk, you'll have to go off track! Lots of places to trip if you do that."
Toilet Facilities

"Everything about this place is great, except the horrible toilets."
"Couldn't picnic as wasps everywhere, toilets out of order, and others giving up as car park full."
"Ticket machine for car park is next to the toilets. It was working intermittently."
"The only downside is the amount of dog poo around- disgusting and difficult to maneuver especially with children in tow."

"Sadly closed on our visit as we went late in the day."

"Parking was a bit of a mare.. loads of selfish drivers parking badly in an unmarked car park led to some angry faces and altercations."
"Hetty's tea house provided decent refreshments and light bites, but they got our order wrong 3 times and we still ended up with part of our order missing."
"The Park Ranger is an absolute potato who doesn't know the parking tariffs of the place he works at."
"We feel that there could be better signage in places, as we always 'get lost' and cover more ground than necessary to get back to the car park."
