- Check the weather before your visit and dress in layers, as forest trails can be cooler than open areas
- Pack a picnic and make use of the picnic areas to extend your visit and make it a special family day out
- Hire bikes if you want to explore further, as the cycling trails offer a fun way for families to experience the forest together
- Visit the cafe for refreshments and to warm up after outdoor activities
- Bring a dog lead even if your dog is usually off-lead, as there may be areas where dogs need to be kept on leads
