Lovely walk, if you go staight down and pass the pond you can make it a longer walk over 3 miles. Good dog walk, could do with more dog bins though.
Lovely little nature reserve with a nice loop that takes approx 45 minutes. Editing my review as disgusted by how many dog poo bags there are lying on the floor. Also disappointed with the lack of spring bulbs there are.
Beautiful reclaimed landfill site, now an important haven for wildlife. A woodland and meadow island amongst the agricultural and industrial uses of the surrounding land. Easy paths to get around and lots to see and hear.
Beautiful place to walk lots of fauna and flora. Nice place to bring children. Picnic tables available. Good dog walk. Dogs must be kept on a leash and you must clear after your dog, bins are provided.
