Great to find a fenced in dog safe area to give dogs which otherwise do not go off leash a little run. Would be even better if the chicken wire was covering the lower part of gates, as smaller dogs could still scramble through and escape. Still a great find though, nice walks too.

As a family we liked it, however one of its selling points is supposed to be wheelchair accessibility. I would disagree that wheelchair users, especially independent ones, could manage the muddy uneven grass down onto the designed concrete path, which is not wide enough for a user and friend to walk side by side and still allow for on coming people. Lots of mud throughout that path, strange bit of grass in the middle to divide the concrete, which simply gets mushed up by feet, bike wheels etc. I wouldn't recommend this place to a wheelchair user who wanted to go out with a friend for a stroll and chat. Not designed with users in mind. Tokenistic at best.

The rest of the setting is beautiful and it was so nice to see the original farming preserved in one field. Shows how our ancestors had a better way of working with each other and the environment.

It was a good family stroll, just really cheesed off about the token wheelchair facility and the lack of maintenance and forethought around it.

A nice little nature reserve that was looking a little parched when we visited following the drought of 2022. Very dog-friendly as there's an enclosed field for letting them off the lead (with poo bins). I guess at busy times you have to judge if that's a good idea but we were the only ones there on a working day. Will be glad when its rained a few more times and the paw sized cracks have closed up.

Several nice walks but the carpark is very small.

Thank you so much for the enclosed dog run - we have a 1 year old Husky who loves to run but has too high a prey drive to be allowed off the lead normally - having a safe space to let him run is wonderful. He says thanks very much as well!

Absolutely fantastic area for a dog walk. The routes are obvious and well trodden, leading to spectacular views of Cambridgeshire. Car park is easy to find and park in, although not many spaces. There are free maps provided so quite difficult to get lost.

Scenic place, good for dog walking or just a stroll in general. There is also a large enclosed part that is great for training or somewhere for your dog to run around with the worrying of your dog getting out
