Information boards
There are a number of information boards and visitor leaflets in the Park Ranger’s Room in the facilities building, as well as a map of the area at the entrance to the car park.

Picnics and walks
It’s an ideal spot to picnic alongside the river, to go for a paddle on a hot summer’s day or to dig in the sand.

It’s also a starting point for some invigorating walks, either along the valley or up onto the immediately surrounding hills. Several walks are signposted from the car park.
Prehistoric hillforts
Following a fairly steep path from the carpark, you can walk up to the remains of Brough Law Hillfort. And, if you’re adventurous, you can carry on and follow a circular walk that takes you to the ruins of several other hill forts, including Middle Dean, Cochrane Pike, Wether Hill and Ingram Hill.
