a stunning lake - called a Mere. Both the cafe and the restaurant do amazing food. Really scenic place. You can sit outside and be surrounded by geese and wild water birds. You can walk round and there are play areas for children. We took a rowing boat onto the lake, grandkids and dog too.

we've visited a few times, such a pretty town on the river Dee. We recommend sitting outside at The Corn Mill if you get the opportunity - watching the river and the white water rafters. Excellent food as well www.brunningandprice.co.uk/cornmill We did have a family day white water rafting. It was worth the soakings and scares through the rocks, very memorable.
