Site Guidelines
Keep dogs on leads at all times and under control. Clean up their poo and dispose of it in the bins provided.
Keep to designated pathways. Be mindful of falling trees and branches and stay away from the water’s edge.
Please respect the beavers. If you are lucky enough to spot them on site, please keep a safe distance and speak quietly so you don’t disturb them.
Leave no trace: don’t take plants, flowers and wildlife from the site and take your litter home with you or put it in the bin.
Beavers are wild animals, do not feed or approach them.
No fires or BBQs onsite: they cause wildfires and disturb wildlife.
