Lovely place to visit with my dog. The kiosk has been done out great so you can get a coffee for your walk and sit for a snack before heading home.

Good for a short stroll. Flat so would be classed as an easy level walk. Lots of water foul to see . Not many resting spots around the ponds to take into account for those that may need it though

A lovely place for a walk, great place for sunsets as you have decent elevation. Pond is roughly a 0.8 mile walk around and great for kids to scoot around - but beware dog muck as sadly some owners are not cleaning up after their dogs. Cafe open in summer months, outside of that, take your own snacks and drinks.
