WASHING BOOTS / PAWS
After your walk, you can wash muddy boots (or muddy paws) using our outside tap. Come in through the gate and turn right along the path (instead of left). The shed at the end has an outside tap. Help yourself. If you have a dog there should be dog towels hanging in a black bag on the ground floor of the Gatehouse.
