It's a lovely place to just stop for a picnic, have a wander round and admire the lovely scenery. There is some interesting dry slate walling in a sheep fold just across the road from the park. Looks very new and most impressive.
We were here on a bitterly cold day in March 2007. So cold it was snowing, with an Arctic wind. I hadn't thought to pack my gloves so my hands quickly froze as I rapidly snapped our surroundings with our new 12 optical zoom camera. Not the best of days to try it out!!! I do remember coming here many years ago with my family for summer outings where we would mess about in the stream for hours on end.
