Ok. It sounds like this place is amazing if you're out for walking your dog. If you're using it as a stop off whilst driving it's awful. The cafe has two things on the menu both were scrubbed as sold out. The disabled parking requires you to have documents verifyring you're disabled beyond having a blue badge, like you carry those with you.

A great place to be around nature and lovely for a dog walk. There are a number of paths leading around the reserve some of which cross over the road. In the winter the paths can get quite muddy so sensible footwear is advisable. There is a good sized car park which has the only bin for any dog waste or rubbish.

Great place for a walk, crossing over from the carpark there are numerous trails, some lead to abandoned buildings which made for a more adventurous and interesting walk. Not really any facilities here but lovely wooded paths and trials, great for dog walking but no poo bins on the walks, only in the carpark.
