I don't think this is a tourist destination. You can only visit if you haven't seen any dams so far. The surrounding nature is good though.

A great place for a wander in the fresh air! Parking costs £2 for one hour, £3 for 3 hours or £6 for the whole day, payable in cash or via the RingGo app. Great paths, designed to be pushchair and wheelchair friendly.

Lovely walks around the lake, also fishing if you like it. Picnic benches in various places. Parking costs £3 a day. You can also leave the area and follow public footpaths if you wish to go on a longer walk.

Beautiful walk, could do with a few more picnic benches and tables. Otherwise, wheelchair friendly.

Lovely place to visit for a walk with the dog - calm and peaceful. Just wish all dog owners would keep their dogs on leads around the inner path as they are supposed to do.
