Most of routes we rode are decent quality. Limited availability for bikes on the gondola, so check before you go. Great service in the café/bar. Loads of parking only £5 per day, or £15 overnight. Biggest gripe is the poor quality of trail maps and terrible signposting on/off trails, especially where the logging has trashed tracks/paths. Had an argument with a very racist Scotsman who insisted that it was a free country; he had a right to roam wherever he wanted and as he lived locally, we should go home. Fortunately, as he was walking on a slower, uphill section of route (Adder Climb), no one was hurt, but feel unless routes are clearer, serious injury could occur.

Came for a day out with the family. Views from the top are spectacular you can see for miles on a good day. Great day out for all the family. Various walks to do and the cafe to visit for snacks. We enjoyed our picnic before heading up on the gondola.

Simply one of the best mountainbiking locations in the UK. Outstanding trails await, and for the visitor aside from easy accessible parking there's a recently redesigned visitor centre with excellent retailers and a bike shop where you can hire bikes also of course. There are trails to suit all skill levels and plan to spend most of a day here as it's a whole day kind of place. Superb cafe on site also. For any bikers this is an essential place to experience.

Cafe near parking at first glance looked great, aesthetic decor etc - but couldn’t believe we were given paper plates and cups. They responded to a similar review saying that it was due to efficiency during busy periods - there was only 3 other tables being occupied during my visit. I don’t know any other cafe that does this during their busy periods… It makes a huge difference having proper crockery for a sit-down cafe meal - both for the experience and, of course, for the environment. All the more important when you’re paying sit-down meal prices. Unfortunately the food didn’t make up for it either. The coffee was burnt and bitter so I couldn’t finish. I ordered one of the sandwiches. The bread was stale and the ham had gone hard - clearly having sat out too long. I would have ordered the hot food, it looked nice, but it was just quite expensive for the portion sizes - and didn’t like the idea of eating a liquidy stew on a paper plate. As I mentioned, the decor is nice, with clean tables and nice staff, so it was just a bit disappointing.

Really beautiful place to visit. Dog friendly too. Family ticket for gondolas were £65 and ride up and down as much as you like. The two walks to the viewpoints offer amazing views. Knocked off one star for the price of food and drink, totally understand it’s a tourist attraction etc but £2.35 for a can is very steep! Very friendly and helpful staff, cafe at the top has amazing views.

I bought tickets online, saving the need to queue (check online for days that it is open). Temperature was taken before boarding the gondola (although I wasn't convinced it was accurate as it was uncharacteristically quite low). The gondola was nice and slow moving when I got on, which saved me panicking. We didn't share with anyone else, so it felt covid safe. The ride up was incredible! Breakfast in a box was very hearty, but you could only sit outside in the freezing cold to eat it! It gave us an opportunity to enjoy the views. We headed right for a lovely walk which was fairly easy. I was grateful I had sturdy walking boots on, because it is gravelly/rocky. The view at the top is tremendous! The flora and fauna is brilliant! Loved it!

The gondolas were closed for the day at our arrival time (because of strong winds), while the website said it was open at our departure time this morning. I understand weather can change and that shit happens, but to have paid 6£ for 20 minutes of parking is outrageous !
