点评:Myself and my partner went on a sunday afternoon to walk our dog, this was our first visit and we definitely will not return, firstly the parking charges are horrendous, £3.80 for 1 hour is just day light robbery, we have visited lots of country parks, forrests, nature reseves and parks ect and never paid such a huge parking price, most are that price for all day parking, we walked over the hour we paid for by about 10 mins as we got lost due to the poor sign posting and had to pay it twice to avoid the £50 charges which is just taking the piss.
They state the park is for everyone, this is clearly not true, its for cyclist and everything is geared up for them, the tracks are shared by all no seperate dog walk tracks and if you enjoy having to constantly dodge out of control kids on bikes running you and your dog down or getting moaned at by cyclists because your dog got in their way on the SHARED track then by all means go, this is not what we like to do on a sunday afternoon with our small, calm 16 year old dog that does not bother anyone and certainly does not chase bikes ect, she just plods along happily.
There are posts telling you to clean up after your dog but not one bin is provided and we had to carry bags of dog poop around the entire walk, would it really hurt to put a few bins around, no wonder people just dump the bags, or just dont pick it up at all.
We love to walk around woodlands ect and enjoy nature, this place is very controlled where you can walk, you can not go off route and find your own paths you have to stick to the designated nicely organised paths they provide, and on a busy day you can not escape the bikes and crowds by finding your own route, all in all its just not for us or dog walkers in general, there are much better places else where with cheaper parking charges.
翻译:我和我的伴侣周日下午去遛狗,这是我们第一次去,也绝对不会再去了。首先,停车费贵得离谱,1 小时 3.80 英镑,简直是明抢!我们去过很多郊野公园、森林、自然保护区等等,从来没付过这么贵的停车费,大多数地方都是全天停车才这个价。因为路标指示不清,我们迷路了,结果走了超过 10 分钟,不得不付了两次停车费才避免被罚款 50 英镑,简直是敲诈!
他们说这个公园是为所有人开放的,这显然不是真的。公园是为骑行者准备的,所有设施都为他们设计。所有道路都是共享的,没有单独的遛狗道。如果你喜欢在共享道路上不断躲避失控的骑自行车的孩子,或者因为你的狗挡了他们的路而被骑自行车的人抱怨,那就尽管去吧。我们可不想在周日下午带着我们那只16岁、性格温顺的小狗来这里。它不会打扰任何人,当然也不会追着自行车跑,它只是悠闲地走着。
公园里有告示提醒大家清理狗的粪便,但是一个垃圾桶都没有,我们不得不拎着装满狗屎的袋子走完全程。放几个垃圾桶真的很难吗?难怪人们会把袋子扔掉,或者干脆不捡。
我们喜欢在林地等地散步,享受大自然。但这个地方管理非常严格,你不能偏离路线,也不能自己寻找小路,必须沿着他们提供的指定路线行走。在人多的时候,你根本无法通过寻找自己的路线来避开自行车和人群。总而言之,这里并不适合我们或者其他遛狗的人。其他地方有很多更好的选择,停车费也更便宜。
