    Lovely trail around three small reservoirs with options to do one, two or all three with distances of approx 1.5 to 3.5 miles. Famous for bluebells in spring. However, path is uneven with stones sticking out from the hardcore surface especially the first part. We found it too difficult for my wife's powerchair but large scooters might be ok if you are adventurous and can cope with a bumpy ride.

    As mentioned, random stones make part of the trail quite bumpy so difficult to recommend this site unless you are adventurous and/or not bothered by a bumpy surface.

    Excellent

    Bus drops people off at bottom of road so there is a half mile tarmac trek to reach the trail. Two disabled parking spaces down the hill (ignore first two car parks) and this opens out on aforementioned bumpy track to resrvoirs. If you use the bottom car park instead you will have a short, fairly steep climb to the disabled entrance on a tarmac surface.

    Good

    Further down the tarmac road from the disabled parking. There is a disabled toilet.
