Only down side was as soon as I came in a rather round lady, who is staff had a owl on her arm, I just wanted to ask about the owl and as soon as I said hi she abruptly and rudely just snarled at me saying no photos and walked off. Either way the place itself is amazing · via Google [Tim Oxbrough](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/111967218028339761074/reviews) ★★★★★ Great place to visit with the family, some nice accessible walks and plenty of open spaces to play games and sit for a picnic. Parking is charged at a reasonable rate and there is a visitor centre with a cafe. We will visit again to try some of their other walks. Lots to see around the park, and some nice features to keep the kids entertained including a brilliant playground! · via Google [Gareth Barker](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/114113902015916982548/reviews) ★★★★★ A truly wonderful day out we had today.
