How to get here
The woodland belongs to the Forestry Commission
who have set aside picnic areas with tables and benches and toilets. The woods
offer long walks and the air is heavy with the sent of conifer and other
shrubbery. Parking
This is yet another well appointed parking place
with welcome amenities and forest walks for the family to enjoy. They could
also walk along the shoreline of the lake and watch the ferries glide back and
forth along this busy waterway while you go diving. If Yachts are everywhere, you will need an SMB for safety. The safety wardens monitoring the yachts are eagle eyed, so if you do not have an SMB you will be approached by them for sure - and these guys and women have teeth! Brief
