The specials board is updated daily if you are looking for something more substantial. Don't miss the range of cakes and generously sized scones.

A spot of shopping

Why not pick up a walks leaflet from the visitor centre?

Call in at our visitor centre shop. We've got a great range of things for you to buy, from pocket money toys for children to handcarved mushroom seats and walking supplies. (The mushroom seats are handcarved using larch from the estate).

We have maps for the estate and beyond for all abilities. Our self-guided walks leaflets range from 1 to 17 mile-long routes and are illustrated by one of our rangers.
