Large retail outlet for cycling gear and a repair etc hub. Be nice if walkers had an outlet too. Cafe nice where you can sit inside or out. Cater for dogs too. Learning /out reach facilities presumably for school visitors. Toilet facilities. Lacked some nice bright plants to brighten it all up more.

Great place for all the family ,lots of nature ,walks and forest to wonder . Bike hire available or bring your own to try various off road tracks . Like heights try the high tree experience with zip wire to finish . £15 for each car for day ,no other parking charges . Good cafe but not cheap . Could do with more places to sit and take in the forest experience on the various walks .

Came for a Coffee and it did not disappoint. The coffee was proper coffee and the staff were friendly and took my Southern sense of humour on with a knowing smile. Enjoy and visit the bike shop next door and at least hire a bike
