This is the closest car park, just 0.2 miles (about 320 metres) from the Vistors Centre 'The Hwb. The path from here is wide and surfaced but does involve a mildly steep downhill slope, with an elevation change of around 27 metres.
Most visitors find this a very manageable gradient, but if you're using a manual wheelchair or walking aid, you may prefer to have some support for the return walk uphill.

This car park is a little further away at around 0.8 miles, but offers a flat, tarmacked path that runs along the reservoir edge. It's a peaceful and scenic route that avoids any steep gradients – ideal if you’re looking for a gentler approach.
Because 'the Hwb' is down next to the reservoir, there’s no parking directly outside the vistors centre both routes are accessible and suit different preferences. Whether you're using a wheelchair, walking aids, a mobility scooter, or pushing a pram, you’ll be met with friendly faces and stunning views when you arrive.
If you have any questions or would like advice on the best option for you, just get in touch — we’re always happy to help.
