Questions parents ask
- Can I take a pushchair round the woodland trails?
- No, the woodland is natural with tree roots, boulders and steep steps as it's a Site of Special Scientific Interest. Child carriers are available to loan free of charge from the Gift Shop (a returnable deposit required).
- Is there anywhere to eat, or should we bring a picnic?
- There's a woodland café serving cream teas, cakes, burgers, paninis and gluten-free and vegan options. There's also a picnic area if you prefer to bring your own food.
- How long should we allow for a visit?
- Most visits take around 2 hours. There are three circular trails of varying difficulty—the Blue Trail is gentler, the Red Trail features the main waterfall, and the Purple Trail is more rugged terrain.
- What should I bring that people often forget?
- Sturdy footwear is essential as the paths can be slippery, especially after rain. Weather-appropriate clothing is also recommended for a woodland visit.
