Such a gorgeous hidden little gem. Took the girls for a walk there today and we had the best time just taking in the natural beauty of it all.
Really clean and incredibly well maintained, though if you're planning a picnic or anything, be prepared to take your rubbish home because I don't recall seeing any bins around.
