Went with our 3.5yr old and 1yr old. Only did the shortest walk but loved it. The gorge is fantastic too. Well worth a visit!

Great example of old open forest and new working forest coming together. Spectacular gorge, well kept trails and fantastic views for those willing to put the effort in!! Great place.
