Access Road...

The access to the centre is along a single track private road, this has been tarmaced quite some years now, but please do not speed. Quite often hikers and dogwalkers can be met just around a bend. Due to limited passing places, parents dropping kids off can be parked quite closely in the car park until everyone has arrived, then leave in convoy.
