What visitors say

Short mucker

It's a lovely place for a walk or run, the path is a huge ring which makes for a pleasant stroll with out worrying about making your way back. There's usually food and drink vans there and there's a kids play area a short walk from the car park. There is a steep hill to the path from the car park although I do think there is a longer more accessible path to the side.
