Decent place to explore.
I was driving up wood lane early hours one morning and a distressed deer fell out of the woods on to the main road, it was trying to climb back up the wall to go back in to the woods, I am still so surprised, there was a deer right in the middle of the city. I parked up in the middle of the road to make sure that no cars go past so the deer gets ample time to climb back up the wall. It eventually did and very quickly disappeared into the woods, that was an awesome experience hence why the 5* I've never been to this nature's reserve but if this is what it has to offer that's absolutely awesome!! P. S. It wasn't just me seeing things, I had my husband with me and he comfirms that it was a deer, (and thats not because he's scared of me)
Rubbish, couldn't find a way in - so pretty underwhelming.
Great Dog walk, tad slippery at this time (April) lol 😂
Scenic views. Nice and quiet too.
