Enjoy a tasty treat in the forest at our beautiful barbecue and picnic area; just bring along good food and company!
Pingle Slade, known as our concert site, is a large open area within the Pine Forest. Perfect for picnics, barbecues and ball games. Pingle Slade is a short walk from the car park/main visitor area. If you follow the signs for the Ladyhill trail this will bring you out to Pingle Slade.
Barbecues must be raised off the ground, have water to extinguish it and take away all embers. No gas barbecues allowed.
