点评:This is a great place to visit, it’s in a beautiful setting there’s lots of activities to do with some being free to use and there are others which are priced accordingly.
Although we enjoyed our time here, we can’t help think it’s poorly managed, the outside seating area by the cafe is untidy with bins overflowing, they are not big enough to cope with all the rubbish and we didn’t see anyone emptying them, the outside benches were never cleaned they are old rotting and poorly maintained, there aren't enough shaded areas for those who want to take shelter from the sun, the dog poo bins were overflowing, there was no separation of cycle lanes/pedestrians in the area around the cafe which made it difficult to be safe with young children on the paths.
We felt ripped off by the cost of parking at £15.50 per car if you’re there more than 4 hours, we had to take two cars so £30 for a large family, I’ve been charged less for parking in central London, and wouldn’t mind if the quality of the facilities were better, as far as I could tell there were no discounts available even if you spent money on activities or in the cafe on food.
There are lots of walking trails and bike paths to use, plus kids play equipment etc, Forestry England (who run the site) argue that the cost of parking pays for the free activities, i suppose it’s a fair argument if the facility was better managed and kept clean.
翻译:这里是个很棒的景点,环境优美,有很多活动可以参加,有些是免费的,有些则需要付费。
虽然我们在这里玩得很开心,但我们不禁觉得这里管理不善。咖啡馆旁边的户外座位区很乱,垃圾桶都堆满了垃圾,垃圾桶不够大,装不下那么多垃圾,而且我们也没看到有人清空垃圾桶。户外长椅从来没有清理过,它们又老又烂,维护也很差。没有足够的阴凉处供人们遮阳。狗屎桶也堆满了垃圾。咖啡馆周围的区域没有自行车道和人行道的分隔,这使得带着小孩在小路上行走时难以保证安全。
如果停车时间超过4小时,每辆车的停车费高达15.50英镑,我们觉得被坑了。我们不得不开两辆车,所以一个大家庭要30英镑。我在伦敦市中心停车的时候,停车费比这里便宜一些,如果设施质量更好一点,我也不会介意。据我所知,即使你花钱参加活动或在咖啡馆吃饭,也没有折扣。
这里有很多步行道和自行车道可供使用,还有儿童游乐设施等等。英国林业局(负责运营该场地)辩称,停车费应该用来支付免费活动的费用。我想,如果设施管理得更好、保持清洁,这个说法还算合理。
