Nice wide roads but no maps at all, signposts are terrible so no idea which way is best. Gave up trying to do a circular walk. Nice place though. I noticed the first comment about lack of map was Aug 2010...nice to see someone pays attention to these comments!!

A map showing the trails could be put on a notice board. Also a brief history of the buildings.
