Visiting this summer

Seasonal nature notes and what to look for now

  • 🌞Midsummer — early morning visits most comfortable; look for deer fawns in quieter clearings
  • 🐕Early mornings are best for dog walks in summer — visit before 9am to avoid the heat and find quieter trails
  • Pullman Café — makes this an easy full-day family visit without needing to pack food

Good to know

  • £Free to visit — no entry charge
