Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- myjlcrUK193 contributionsThe acers were looking really beautiful this weekend - the main reason for our visit, and there is a great collection of trees, generally. But a bit disappointing in terms of visitor experience - dogs are banned and it's hard to see why that needs to be the case. Toilets were poor.Written 24 October 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- snjoxLondon135 contributionsEnjoyed the walk around the reservoirs on a good, level, surfaced track, as we've done many times before, but mean-spirited Thames Water, despite £2.2 BILLION annual revenues, have re-introduced parking charges here, presumably to reduce footfall and help kill off the cafe? Seriously, what costs do TW need to recoup from a few members of the public parking and walking? What else can they do to ensure a total lack of public-spiritedness and discourage local people from using their facility for healthy exercise. First 45 mins is free, but of course that isn't quite long enough to walk a full lap (wonder who worked that one out?!).
Many other walks in the area, so no longer visiting and no longer using the cafe. Shame.Written 30 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

But a great afternoon finishing with boiling water for a cuppa on the fire we had made Cooking marshmallows and enjoying our shelter hand made pegs holding it in place…
Hammered in with the wooden hammer we had made.Written 24 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There were flowers and lots and lots of beautiful ferns. I enjoyed the special wild Foxgloves. It was especially interesting for us, knowing that CS Lewis had possibly gotten some of his inspiration for the Narnia books. This was a lovely & easy walk and we would recommend it.Written 28 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The grass to dirt ratio is apsolutely spot on (i dont know how they do that) Many rare plants such as budlia davidi and pond weed are found here.
