Love walking around the grounds, however, the cafe isn't very eco friendly. My sister and I brought our own reusable cups which didn't fit in the machine so understandably they had to use something else instead. Yet when my sister looked she saw the lady using a different disposable cup for each drink (both were hot chocolates) completely defeating the object of reducing waste in the first place. Upon suggestion that they use a crockery cups in future for situations like this to reduce waste (something I think a country park should be keen on doing) she was ignored by the lady serving her.…

The council have stopped doing hot food at the cafe. You can get a takeaway hot drink and an excellent scone. The walk around was spoilt by many noisy people, having loud conversations, shouting at their phones, cyclists hurtling past two nearly colliding and as for the person who left a bag of dog mess on a bench...
