Brockholes

Lovely place for a walk, wheelchair friendly, and child friendly. Nice cafe with seating and toilets. There's a decent kids play area on the other side of the car park.

Reclaimed land from an older quarry. The 'floating' village is striking, although quite how it floats is a mystery as it rests on concrete. The location and view though is spectacular. The cafe could be better, which is why I haven't given 5 stars.

Plenty of different walks round with maps to follow. A pleasant walk along the river Ribble is a must do. There is also a woodland walk to view many different birds and animals. Large cafe and visitors centre. Just £5 car park charge. Well worth a visit.

Very pretty wetland and nature reserve, so much to see and do. Visitors centre with plenty of interesting information and games and puzzles for children. Suitable walks for all mobilities all very well maintained (at the time of our visit). Large cafe with an extensive menu. Little shops (which were unfortunately closed at the time of our visit)

Came here a while back and it's nice to see it's developing into a great reserve. A really great glass fronted hide, The Look Out, with seating faces the lake and almost sits on it. Children can identify birds from the illustrations. The main floating buildings are still open to walk around. There's a small cafe mixed with the shop now. A nice seating area outside. The larger cafe is open every so often now. Toilets are still available. Go online to see what events are on and to book. It was pond dipping at our visit. There's a play area off the large carpark. £5 a day is reasonable for a longer visit but we've got the online 3month combined centre parking ticket, which saves you thinking about the cost of a shorter visits and encourages you to get out more. We've now got the 12 month 2 center parking for our 2 cars, and it works really well. It all helps the development/upkeep of the reserve.

Beautiful place, great parking which you do have to pay for. Lovely walks and play areas for kids of all ages. No dogs allowed, unfortunately, but that's so there's no interference with the wildlife. Would recommend for a nice relaxing walk with family

Absolutely love it here. Beautiful scenery and fantastic wildlife. They have a range of activities throughout the year for the kids which are either free or cost little. In the summer you can certainly make the day of it, great park for young and older kids especially. £5 parking all day, considering looking into monthly/quarterly cost for the car park so we can go more. Went today for the kids orienteering and the ladies there were absolutely fantastic, great service.

Beautiful setting, car park is £5 but worth it for what's here. Great staff and prices are reasonable. Only thing that let it down was dog walkers in a place meant to be dog free. We brought our son with ASD as a safe space for him to feel free to run around but hampered by idiots who think more of their dogs than others or what the place is for. Would be good to see staff patrolling for issues such as this but aside from that a great time, fun explores and very relaxing.

A stunning location. We went for the Santa event and it did not disappoint, my daughter found it magical. Parking is easy to access, there is a large outdoor play area enroute to parking that is easy to walk to. Even spotted deer is the tree line. Would definitely visit again. No dogs allowed on floating visitor centre area though. Loved it.

Great place for a lovely walk/picnic and some fresh air. Free to enter just pay for carpark but that's reasonable considering the upkeep costs per day! Great playarea for the kids. Toilets on site. Food area and gift shop. Nice and clean. Plenty to see on the different trails. Kids enjoyed den building in the woods.
