Very nice for a stroll and a bite to eat at the cafe. Been going there since I was a little boy.

Just a warning, they have parking wardens lurking in the bushes and up trees intent on fining you. Don’t let it ruin your day like it did mine. It says you can have 20 minutes free but states in the small print that you need a ticket. I skipped along all happy to get some chips, saw a sign at the cafe saying “don’t forget to get a ticket for the free 20 minutes”, so went back to my car to get said ticket and the slimy fella had jumped out his bush and fined me £35.

As you can tell this has wound me up big time so thought I’d have a rant on here. Left without walking there or paying for a ticket as I was in an awful mood. Which is a shame as the parking money goes to the trust and I assume the fines go to some private company. I’ll be contesting.

Anyway! Been going there for a long time and that’s kind of put me off for the time being.

As long as you can get parked (because it gets seriously busy on weekends and bank holidays) this place has great views, a great food kiosk (hot food, drinks, ice cream etc), some good walks, toilets and is generally clean and well maintained. Top tip- head down the back path through the woods, sticking close the road, and you'll come across the beautiful old Yew trees that are fascinating and worth seeing. Alternatively, cross the road and walk down along the footpaths to the Silent Pool. From the main car park though, you can walk all the way through to Guildford if you keep on going. Popular with dog walkers and even more popular with bikers. Burgers and chips are recommended and the visitor centre isn't bad. Also good tea and milkshakes if you just want a drink. There are mountain bike tracks in the woods behind and the slope is also a good spot to head to with your toboggan...
