    Special thanks and recognition to our Charities’ fundraising groups. Everyone works happily through their shifts, continuing to cheerfully encourage fellow Volunteers and welcome the hundreds of visitors. We could not contemplate holding the Open Days without our hard working volunteers.

Parking on the road. This year a neighbour is providing additional parking space. We recommend first driving up to our gate to drop off your passengers who are not up to the walk, before returning to the parking areas. Pet dogs not allowed entry. Registered Support Dogs welcome.

Visitors using walking frames recommended to have a friend nearby for assistance if needed. Some paths are sloping. Please call me to discuss the terrain if you would like to. (04990 85800)
