August 12, 2025 at 1:56 pmSuch a beautiful walk! A very large site and lots of wooded areas which provided much needed shade for the dogs! Although the car park initially appeared quite busy the walk was very quiet and peaceful! We loved it and will definitely be back!

September 29, 2025 at 2:36 pmIt used to be very good, lots of respectful dog owners, plenty of areas for off lead snuffling. But unfortunately over the past few years the “forest” park has been turned into a kiddies playground with too many yummie mummies complaining that your dog is off lead and out of control. I used to visit 2/3 times a week now it’s not worth the stress, go to Lady Dicksons far better park.
