Visiting this summer

Seasonal nature notes and what to look for now

  • 🚴Start cycling visits early on summer days — trails are best before the heat builds via Route 15
  • 🐕Dogs welcome — bring water in summer; the site has enough space to find shade on hot days

Good to know

  • £Free to visit — no entry charge
