Beau parking dans un sentier naturel, un lac d'un côté et une randonnée dans les poireaux de l'autre, il y a un petit chemin de fer à vapeur avec un café et des toilettes qui ouvrent à partir de 11 donc très paisible auparavant seulement beaucoup de promeneurs de chiens

Schöner Parkplatz in einem Naturpfad, auf der einen Seite ein See und auf der anderen eine Wanderung in den Lauch, es gibt eine kleine Dampfeisenbahn mit einem Café und Toiletten, die ab 11 Uhr geöffnet sind, also sehr ruhig vorher nur viele Hundeausführer

Bonito estacionamiento en un sendero natural, un lago a un lado y una caminata de puerros al otro, hay un pequeño tren de vapor con una cafetería y baños que abren desde las 11, por lo que es muy tranquilo antes solo de muchos paseadores de perros.

    We arrived on a very wet Thursday afternoon, there were a few cars parked near the entrance and a few hardy dog walkers came and went. We parked at the far end near the trail. It was very peaceful and great for the dogs. The access is a tight turn up a fairly steep incline, so you might be better driving past and turning at the roundabout.

    Might be a good spot on other days (though loud talking joggers passed by from 6am!), right now there's extremely loud equipment parked in the area, which they use in the evenings and return at 3am.

    very busy in the day, especially when trains are running

    Lovely quiet place. Arrived 1pm and found a lot of walkers and a few fishermen, after about 4pm I was on my own. At about 7am a few walkers came and went, everyone was very friendly. Good walking area

    Excellent spot. 3 cars when I turned up at 2130, they left within half an hour and then 2 vanners turned up during the night, very pleasant spot right next to a light railway. Good nature trail ! Enjoyed this one :)

    Lovely spot. Large, with no barriers and after 9.30pm all other parked cars are gone too.

    A delightful parking area. Free with no restrictions. We stayed here a couple of nights ago, very quiet. Great access for walks and cycling and close to the Roaches too!

    Lovely quiet spot. Do not go near the station if it is closed or you may set off the alarms. I arrived after dark and left early so did not get to sample the trains or the cafe.

    A lovely quiet spot off the main road

    Public picnic area with parking. There is one (1) picnic table but opposite is a volunteer-run small gauge steam railway with a kiosk (not cafe) and outside tables. There are no restrictions and a rare absence of boy-racers, pot-heads and doggers. The area is delightful and when I am able to return I will explore (and comment on) the left bank.
