    Good outdoor activity for families. Simple history with plenty of benches for picnics. Cafe\restaurant on-site and also a small gift shop. Staff very friendly. Some of the areas will need some care or improvement soon. All parts are buggy friendly. Can be cool so bring a coat apart from high summer

    Great for all the family. My 7yo and I did the Easter hunt today in the rain and still had a great time. We have a lovely meal afterwords before heading home. We will probably be back again soon.
