A lovely circular route suitable for a wheeling part and all terrain mobility scooter or wheelchair. The gates would limit access for some. I managed on my Robooter e60 pro. The little visitor centre offers tea and coffee with useful information on the area and other attractions. Parking is at the top of a hill down to the Reservoir visitor centre and the footpaths. Other routes are into the surrounding woodland and not all are wheelchair accessible.

It is such a hidden gem. There is free car parking costing only £1 which needs to be paid at the visitor centre. The walks are beautiful offering nature at its best. There is the Moor, the forested lands and the circular walk around the reservoir. Very well maintained and clean. Can easily pass 3 hours going through the various trails. We went towards ogden clough and spent around an hour waking through the Moor. Thoroughly enjoyable experience.

One of my favourite walking spots! The woods are almost rainforest like, and lots of fairytale trails around. Plenty of parking, which is £1 in the honesty box. Although visitors with dogs like to leave their 💩 which is gross. Watch your step guys!!

Nice flat walk around a small reservoir. Toilets open all day until 6pm. Small visitor centre selling drinks and snacks also local maps. Lots of opportunity to extend your walk in all directions. Parking was £1 in an honesty box at the visitor centre.
