The all ability trail which is suitable for pushchairs and wheelchairs, is a circular trail around the lake, where you can watch the red kites being fed every day. Follow the posts around the walk where you will discover fascinating facts about the red kite. Our animal puzzle trail, suitable for all ages, also uses this trail. The trail is graded as all ability throughout with a gradient of less than 10%. The surface is generally smooth
