There's plenty of parking; £2 for two hours when the machine's working or £2.36 via the RingGo parking app, so long as you can get a mobile phone signal.
There are so many different walks & on a warm day or even in the winter wrapped up warm it's a great place to visit and to relax. The walks vary in difficulty & length and are all well marked and signed.
They also have ice cream for the pooch, never cheap but it keeps her happy 🐶.
The cafe is quite comfortable - we had some sandwiches there, which weren’t particularly cheap (£4.50 a sandwich) but were very tasty and good quality none the less.
There’s lots of activities and play areas for the kids. There are some signs for various insects, so there must be some sort of activity trail for the kids to follow.
If you’re a FoD forestry commission member, the parking is free and you get 10% off at the cafe. You’ll quickly break even on the membership when the parking can be £5 for the day.
