Love going here with the dog for long uninterrupted walks. Miles and miles good walks. Easy to navigate. Beautiful scenery. Lots of easy access. Quiet and peaceful. Perfect for sunny winters day or summer picnic.

Fantastic place, just was not sure where the start of all the trails were as directions were quite ambiguous. The staff member knew where they were talking about, but got lost in translation. Besides that we had a lovely walk in the forest.Was a wonderful day, even in the misty rain! Time with beloved family members.

Just stunning! A wonderful place to walk the dogs, so peaceful and quiet (other than the jets going over). Will definitely come back

LYNFORD GARDENS HOLIDAY COTTAGESHad a lovely two night stay in one of these well appointed cottages recently. As well as all you need to cook and store food and drink, there’s TV and Wi-FI with plenty of plug sockets.They’re set behind the little Shepards Baa Cafe, in a walled garden. (no pets).The self catering cottages vary from two storeys, one storey with separate bedroom, to bedsit type (The Wren).Outside of the garden, Lynford Arboretum spreads over a large area, with woodland and open grassland walks, water features, historic grounds, Manor House and abundant wildlife. Post marked graded walks on accessible paths are spread throughout.Staff are very friendly and helpful and can’t do enough for you.This place is the perfect retreat to escape to. Would we go again?? Yes, without a doubt.

I spent a day here with my daughter whilst camping nearby.It is well maintained with stuff going on (archery, play areas, Go Ape, trampolines, walking/riding trails) if you don't want to just sit and absorb the beautiful surroundings with a picnic.Our main purpose of the visit was to check out the pump track. It's not the biggest, but it's a nice track for kids to ride.There's plenty of parking, clean toilets, and a cafe on site.I'd definitely recommend visiting and will return if we're ever in the area again.

We absolutely love it here. Beautiful scenery, super fresh air, love walks, great places to bring your mountain bikes, play stuff for the kids, you can book BBQ (cannot being your own) areas, and a cafe on site. Toilet are ok-ish. Parking costs are very reasonable considering what it's paying towards.
