    It’s an 8 mile walk around the res with well maintained paths. The visitor centre has a courtyard with a number of shops and you can get ice creams and cold / hot drinks or in the Mainsail Restaurant.

    You can buy car park tickets from the desk in the Visitor Centre if you haven't got the right change for the ticket machine

    The Water Rail shop in the Visitor Centre area sells a great range of outdoor and leisure wear - top brands. And they allow dogs in the shop. Owner Catrina is extremely helpful

    My top tip for such a busy public space: how about some litter bins? There is a distinct lack of them!!!
