Visiting this summer

Seasonal nature notes and what to look for now

  • ☀️June — long evenings and clear skies; one of the most rewarding months for a late visit
  • 🧺Good picnic destination in summer — open space and facilities for a relaxed day out
  • 🐕Dogs welcome — bring water in summer; the site has enough space to find shade on hot days
