Took the dog here for a lovely little adventure of local person told me about the place. This is really interesting and fairly unique place for people walking their dogs , it's less family orientated more dog walking orientated. We'll definitely return when in the area

I come here most days, it is a great place to visit, there is no charge on entry. Stuart oversees the area as a volunteer and has some people help him. The council give a small amount to help with the running costs. They have a weekend in June where you can donate money to help with the upkeep. There are no toilets, playground or bbq area. There is a stream to walk by. You can park your car near the skate park and football ground. The parking near the cricket pitch is for residents.

Beautiful natural woodland with sand bottomed streams, ponds and a network of paths through a little ravine. Great place to take the dog for a walk it just to get away from it all.

Great place to go with kids and dogs. Beautiful surroundings and very well looked after. If only people wouldn't leave dog poo bags everywhere and took them with them like the majority of dog owners. Not nice taking a photo of the scenery to find dog poo baubles on the tree... Not the ground owners fault though. Love it here
