Open every day
All our sites are freely accessible daily. There are no gates to lock and no entry fees.
Made for walking
Over 8km of all-weather paths across our sites, with plenty of seating at Sir Joseph Banks Country Park.
Dogs welcome (mostly)
Dogs are welcome at our woods but not in the nature reserve at Dion's Wood.
Fire safety: there are NO fires, BBQs, smoking or naked flames at any of our sites, at any time of year. In dry weather the woods and meadows become tinder dry and the smallest spark can start a fire. A previous fire destroyed at least twenty young trees.
