Review:
A small but lovely spot to see some birdlife, a bit of a hidden gem really. There is a lake in the middle with lots of geese, ducks and other water birds. Be wary that geese may attack in the breeding season (typically July to September).
There is a shelter with table and also a table under a tree near the car park. A dirt path leads through trees around the lake which has some seats.
There's also a second smaller lake but it's more inaccessible.
