The site has held the coveted Green Flag award since 2009, making it a wonderful hub for walkers and the perfect stop for tea and cake after a lovely walk.

Visitors can sit, relax and enjoy the wonderful scenery, wander along a relaxing one mile riverside circular walk, before visiting the Circle of Legends.
