From the car park, turn left on the footpath in front of you and follow the numbered way-marker posts. Each numbered post relates to information on the map (available from the car park). The path remains close to the reservoir for the duration of the walk, providing great views across the water.
The ground between way-marks 7-8 can get quite muddy and is narrow in places. We suggest that visitors with a pushchair/wheelchair turn around and retrace their steps when they reach the dam wall (way-mark 6).
Dogs are welcome, but must be kept on a lead at all times.
A kiosk in the car park serves a good range of hot and cold food and drinks and has plenty of seating. Toilets are also located in the car park.
