    At the time we visited a bridge was temporarily closed. Otherwise there's a lovely circular excursion on gently undulating woodland paths. Excellent hides to watch birdlife. Super cafe.

    The circular route we took followed mostly level, occasionally undulating paths. Some of these were unsurfaced but firm. Some were surfaced. There were hides with seats at several points. No gates or steps. I have a SD Motion trike which easily coped. I think other chairs or scooters would be fine provided it wasn't wet and muddy.

    Parking & Transport

    Good

    It's a bit off the beaten track so not sure if public transport is an option. Parking was fine on the weekday we visited. But not a lot of blue badge bays.
