Over the course of the past year, the visitor centre café has been revamped with new menus introduced and a new counter installed which has led to increased visitor interest and very positive comments.

The café is a not-for-profit trading arm of the charity, where all sales support the running of the site and improving the facilities.

In the past year, its programme of events and activities for people of all ages has tripled.

The site has also had a makeover which has encouraged more visitors, from tree planting, path improvements and a newly constructed artistic pavilion, to new picnic tables and outdoor planters on the decking area outside the visitor centre.
