What visitors say
A cracking place for a walk and a coffee. Peaceful and quiet yet convenient. 90 minutes of free parking. Plenty of disabled spaces and paths that are navigable by wheelchair (push or electric). Options for watersports here, see their website. Good for birdwatching, particularly in the winter months.

A great place for a walk and to recharge… I didn’t get a chance to try the coffee, but I really enjoyed the moment. It’s nice that the first 90 minutes of parking are free.

Fantastic walk part of walks were closed due to conservation projects , parking easy , if don’t want people on grass maybe widen paths , plenty of wildlife on show , lovely to see different age groups using the space . Possibly some more feeding stations for the smaller birds like other places just a option .

A nice easy walk around one or two reservoirs - you will find some path closed at certain times of the year to protect wildlife. You get 90 minutes of free parking, enough time for a quick lap and a snack if you're reasonably fast on your feet. Nice views North of the hills and some big skies south as it's very flat. The path is generally very good, with a few puddles after rain. Suitable for prams and wheelchairs. The cafe is nice, good portions, not cheap but not overly expensive either.
