Lovely area for running, dog walking and picnics by the lake. The £4 carpark charge did seem a bit steep, as the toilets were not in operation and there was no cafe or snack wagon, but I guess it didn’t break the bank. I imagine it will be even more beautiful in the summer and there’s a huge play park (Shame my children are all teenagers now). See more..
