点评:Looks like it was once upon a time a really lovely attraction full of wildlife and well maintained nature trail/little garden centre but it looks like it hasn’t been properly looked after for years unfortunately. We overheard a conversation that new owners took it on a few years ago I just hope they have plans to give it all some serious tlc - Nature trail looked tired with areas that looked like they once housed animals overgrown with weeds and a pond covered in algae. We had expected to see animals from photos I’d seen but chatted to the chap in the aquatic centre and he said they haven’t had the otters etc since 2023. We were treated by some baby ducks though and a robin. There was a sign also saying the aquatic building had also closed in 2023 with no plans to reopen. If you’re in the area it’s somewhere to have a little walk and see some ducks especially if you’re stopping for the pancake house and it’s free to enter the nature walk (which may actually be where the issues lie if it’s not making money to maintain it? The free entry is also why it’s getting 3 stars and not less I’m afraid) but if you’re expecting more see this as a heads up - we made a special trip over and were disappointed. The garden centre/aquatic centre looked in dire need of more stock and more care. Pancakes were nice but a little overpriced. All in all could be an amazing place with some love and I’ve no doubt money invested which is a shame if that’s what it’s all down to - just not what we expected at all!
翻译:看起来它曾经是一个非常可爱的景点,充满了野生动物和维护良好的自然小道/小花园中心,但不幸的是,它似乎多年来没有得到妥善照顾。我们无意中听到一段谈话,几年前新主人接管了它,我只希望他们计划给它一些认真的呵护——自然小道看起来很陈旧,有些区域看起来曾经是动物的住所,杂草丛生,池塘里长满了藻类。我们原本希望从照片上看到动物,但和水上运动中心的小伙子聊了聊,他说自 2023 年以来他们就没有水獭等了。不过,我们看到了一些小鸭子和一只知更鸟。还有一个标志说水上建筑也将于 2023 年关闭,没有重新开放的计划。如果你在这个地区,这里很适合散步,看看鸭子,特别是如果你在煎饼屋停下来的话,而且可以免费进入自然步道(如果它不赚钱来维护它,这实际上可能就是问题所在?免费入场也是它获得 3 颗星的原因,恐怕不会更低),但如果你期待更多,请注意这一点 - 我们专程去了一趟,结果很失望。花园中心/水上中心看起来急需更多存货和更多护理。煎饼很好吃,但价格有点高。总而言之,如果能投入一些爱心,这里会是一个很棒的地方,我毫不怀疑他们投入了资金,如果这就是它的全部原因,那真是太遗憾了 - 只是完全不是我们所期望的那样!
