We went here after seeing it advertised on fb, great day out and all for the cost of parking, which is cash only but you can pay at the counter in the gift shop by card before 5pm. (£5.60) We took a picnic, enjoyed a walk with a stop at the assault course which the kids loved then a stroll back to the park which includes a water area so pack towels and costumes as I didn’t know about this area so the kids went in their underwear. After lunch went for another stroll and came across another assortment of activities that the kids enjoyed they was tired at the end of the day but a brilliant day out. Their is a cafe on site if you wish to eat their or enjoy a coffee outside on the decking over the lake. Great for all ages, will defo be visiting again!

Bikes all ready to go & happy to swap one that was the wrong size. Good information about the route & perfect distance around the reservoir for the novice in our group. Beautiful spot, will come back & hope for more sun & less rain!
