Fab for adults and children. Go explore by foot or pushbike. Some steep inclines but easily manageable by most. They do have electric mobility scooters available to hire for those who may need a little help along the way. There's also an 18 piece sculpture trail to follow. · via Google [Hayden Price](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/105874863570167791635/reviews) ★★★★★ Lovely place to come had a lovely ice cream and a drink a bit expensive but then you’re a captive audience and a lovely place to go walking for the sculpture trail. Didn’t do it all this time but if I had more time it wasn’t so hot I probably would have done it all · via Google [Debby Jones](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/114631638569098503477/reviews) ★★★★★ A wonderful, cool walk in the Forest this morning, followed by great coffee in the café (plenty of seating inside and outside [shade & sun]). · via Google [Miranda Thomas](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/110577903705380632643/reviews) ★★★★★ Great day out with kids, we spent 3+ hours doing the Room on the Broom trail and in the kids playground.
