A brilliant place to take your dogs. It’s always quiet, peaceful, and perfect for a relaxing walk. There are plenty of water bowls available near the cafe, which is a lovely touch, and there are numerous fantastic walking routes to explore. A great spot for both dogs and their owners.

Really enjoyed this place. Lots of parking, noticed some people parking on side of the road because they are tight and didnt want to pay but there was no need to do that. There was plenty of parking spaces and car parking was very reasonable. There was a lovely cafe there, me and my family all had a sandwich and a coffee, the price was a little bit expensive but to be honest I think its the same wherever you go these days. The trail itself, i think there's 3 different ones you can choose from. I have some mobility issues and my mother in law is elderly so we just just to do the yellow trail and it was very doable. The trail was very flat, wheelchair and pushchair friendly. So much wildlife to see, it was a very beautiful walk and ill definitely come back again :) definitely worth a visit.

Lovely place for a walk and a picnic. The car park isn't too expensive and is very well maintained with lots of spaces. We did the long walk and it had beautiful views and took about an hour and half (with quite a few stops to admire views). The bluebells were stunning at this time of year. The cafe was nice and a good price and lots of picnic benches available.

Great day out to Haughmond Hill, our three year old enjoyed the Room on the Broom trail. We also walked the orange route. On the way through stopped to see the quary, slightly disappointed that you couldn't see much from the viewing point. The Toposcope had amazing views that they have labelled on some large stones. The cafe was nice and staff were friendly and efficient. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Lovely walk to do with the dog. Different routes you can take with a map at the car park. Lots of interesting things to look at including standing stones, the Quarry, the forest and the views. There is also a café. Need to pay for parking. Highly recommended 👍
