Absolutely spectacular. Joined the family route from the Center Parcs access road, and a 2 year old, a 6 year old and 3 somewhat older year olds had one of the most delightful bike rides any family could wish to undertake. Beautiful scenery, a great selection of wildlife, and a surface that even the most inexperienced cyclist could handle with ease. What more could anyone ask for?? This place is a must for anyone with a young family, or who simply fancies a leisurely ride in pefect surroundings. 5 stars in every area!!
