Signposted from the M4, this is well worth a visit. There are seven miles of forest to explore,…read morewith several parking bays along the way where you can get out to walk along one of the marked paths, or have a picnic. There is also a fishing lake and a mountain bike trail. The views from the top are incredible! There's a fairly new visitor centre and cafe at the foot of the drive.

We've just spent a lovely couple of days podding at the campsite here absolutely breathtaking…read morescenery, spotless loos and showers, and really well thought out pod arrangements, all for £35 a night (minimum 2 nights).

Situated right in the heart of the Brecon Beacons' glorious countryside, this is a reasonably sized…read morevisitor centre. Turning left (northbound) from the main road through the park, you cross over between two reservoirs and find yourself in a wooded area with pine needles strewn across the floor. The Visitor Centre offers good information on the geography, history and wildlife found in the park, and is a great place to bring children. This is a popular place for tourism and school trips: so be warned. Perhaps go on a week day. But all the attention means that the staff really know their stuff. Any question on the park should be met with good answers. They also have a good amount of information of activities, events and walks that can be experienced, and also about the Taff Trail and camping grounds. There is a small tearoom and several gift items to purchase. Perhaps this visitor centre isn't worth the drive by itself, but it's a great springboard into the rest of the park. Stop here before you start you major explorations.

The visitor centre is a bit hard to find and not advertised as much as some other local tourist…read moredays out but it is a great day out. There is a lovely shop selling baskets made on the site they are a little bit pricey but seeing as they are made in the uk not imported from china I did not mind spending the money on one. They also sell willow to make your own baskets and garden structures (this is a bit big to take home if you are on holiday). They also make willow coffins! There is also a museum full of baskets, a video about the reed beds, a coffee/lunch shop and an exhibition about the Levels and Moors. After you have looked round all this you can go on a walk around the reed beds and get scared by the cows. The walk could be better sign posted but is worth the effort it does include quite a steep climb at the end so be warned. We had a picnic on the walk which was lovely. It is free to visit but closed on Sundays.

There's good disabled access, an audio-visual show and exhibition, and a marvellous relief map for the blind and visually impaired to feel (I wish more places would make things like this). A fantastic place to visit first to orientate yourself before choosing a walk at one of the nearby lakes.

We thought this place was brilliant. There is a lovely visitors centre and the staff are incredibly…read moreknowledgeable of the area and advised us on specific walks. The centre has clean toilet facilities and a very welcoming cafe with a limited menu selection but all reasonably priced. There is plenty of parking although I could imagine gets very busy in the height of the summer. I would highly recommend this as a day out, the view of the damm is spectacular. Ideal for keen walkers, dog owners and lots of little trails for kids.

First time visiting Crickley Hill Country Park. Great views of the Cotswolds from this beautiful…read morelocation. There are lots of paths to follow, all sorts of open green areas to relax in and countless picture worthy locations. You'll also come across lots of cows roaming the area as well as birds and other wildlife. There's a fairly large parking area that accommodates a good amount of vehicles. A small visitor center area includes a small museum, which details some of the historical things one may encounter, a description of the wildlife in the area, and a brief history of the park, and how it came to be. Adjacent to the museum is a coffee shop that sells hot drinks, cold drinks, ice cream and a variety of snacks and gifts.

For the warmer months, there is a central picnic area as well as scattered benches throughout the park, and an ice cream van often visits the larger carpark. There are several trails marked out, or you can wander at will. There are some elements of historic interest if the visitors' centre is open, along with some information boards about the settlements which used to be there - some of which are marked out with posts in the ground. The big open area where the settlements used to be is now great for flying a kite - be warned on windy days, the site is mostly quite exposed and can be a lot windier and colder than lower ground! Fantastic views over Cheltenham and Gloucester on a clear day.

Havent been there in years great location though!read more
