Easy to find.Plenty of parking.Easy walking along the trails, but steps down to the cave and wishing we'll, so unsuitable for wheelchair users or those who struggle with stairs.Kiosk which sells hot drinks - good quality coffee, snacks and amazing ice cream, at a very reasonable price. Plenty of places to sit and eat.Large adventure playground for active energic children!

This was such a great find. If you have a large car use the wide car entrance. Plenty of parking and the entry price is worth it. Mother Shipton has a interesting story, I won't spoil it. But check out the Teddy Bears turned to stone by the water fall, but I would not pay £50+ for the privilege. The meseum and fossilised items from celebrities are interesting. Don't forget to put your right hand in and make a wish.

Great attraction and our friend had visited it decades earlier and commented on it improvement now with the mixed activities. Would recommend to all ages and you also have the option of buying your own stone teddy in the gift shop.

Wasn't sure what to expect, but this place really delivered! it was a nice walk along the river to a few pop up themed 'huts'. It was Pirate and Mermaid themed this summer. There is quite a big kids playground with swings, seesaws, climbing frame etc. Then another short walk to the cave and wishing well. All in all probably spent around 2 hours here. Nice walk, bit of fresh air, some history, and the kids enjoyed the run around. Can't complain!

Great place. Lovely walk. There is plenty to do for children & loads of parking, though if it is only 2 of you I would try & park in the public car park as this works out cheaper.It was a very interesting place to visit. I would recommend it.

This place was so fun. It was amazing weather which added to the magnificence, but the atmosphere of the walk itself was so good. There were actors who were great for the kids and plenty of places to sit down and rest. They do have places that supply food and drink, but even though there isn't any gluten free hot foods, the ice cream was lovely and not all-together expensive.It's a great place to burn a few hours and so close to other great sights.Will definitely go back

Took the kids here on Halloween and the added extra tents were fantastic. A lovely little trail suitable for my 5 year old and 2 old (not suitable for a buggy but was able to leave in various places close by) the storey you can read along the way is easy to follow and interesting. Would definately go back. Close to the local town

Went during the school holidays, not too busy. My little boy loved meeting the mermaid and pirate (who was fabulous with the children) nice little play area, lots of places to sit including picnic benches, ice cream, coffee, hot chocolate available. Nice little museum area and gift shop. Cave, waterfall and wishing well was lovely to see.

Lovely little walk it took just over a hour to walk round. There’s loads off lovely picnics hut tables. You get 2.30 hours in there and you’re not allowed to leave your car there to look round the town. The water fall is amazing. The views are incredible. They’re a nice little park for the kids. The museum was good and very interesting. Go check it out.
