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. · via Google [Steph O'Reilly](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/110888571455753877820/reviews) ★★★★★ Nice little place and walk and see some nature.
