A place where ancient stones meets water and forest . Very tranquil not many people around.

Great for an explore and to toss a coin to your Witcher oh valley of plenty

Lovely place for a cheap family day out. £5 per.adult. under 16 free. Bring a picnic

Lovely walk around the lake and impressive rock formations. The bluebells were out in force. Well worth a visit.

I wasn't quite sure what to expect as I navigated a sharp bend into the ample car parking at this site. A friendly welcome from the lady taking the more than reasonable fees Historic Hous memberships get free admission) and then a wander round the lake in a clockwise direction. Younare deliberately guided in this direction. Fairly recent restorations of woodland and a historic Turner view greeted me, and you could ooh and aah at the rock formations on the far shore. A quick amble round the lake on a pleasant walk then the proper journey began, with the contorted trees clinging to the rocks, roots anchoring them and adding to a Lord of the Rings type scene. Rocks in all directions, smoothed by time and simply massive, with wide bowls of woodland kissed by the sun with dappled sun glaring through. I was stunned. Some of the reviews seem to have missed the point that a private landowner has bothered to restore a woodland, part of heritage so easily lost, and open it for people.to see.... I for one was immensely impressed at what has been done. Some of the trees are just so majestic and how on earth they thrive in this area is part of the joy of visiting. Lovely to see a mix of young and old enjoying what is a one to two hour visit to enjoy and absorb the woods and the rocks. What a pity I can't leave a sixth star...
