Woodland walks, a play trail and a visitor centre on Quarry Road. Open all day, every day. Car park £2 a day.

A nature reserve with bird hides and accessible paths. Look out for curlew in spring and red grouse all year. Free car park on Moor Road.

We came for the mill and stayed for the walk back over the tops. The kids still talk about the looms.
