Extra information

There are over 2 miles of paths around the lakes and woods with over 1 mile of surfaced marked trails. There are some steep slopes but the paths are flat elsewhere. The unsurfaced paths are waterlogged and slippery when wet because of the clay soil. The path around the eastern side of New Lake (1) has around 60 steps, is less than 1m wide and has deep mud in winter. The walking route shown on the map is about 5 km in total.
