A brilliant day out

Love coming to Willen even on a cold day. Beautiful surroundings, lovely little cafe and loads for kids to do. First time at Treetop Extreme and my son loved it (bit scary tho!)

Is this location accessible by train? Is there an entrance fee to just walk around the lake?

AnswerShow all 2 answers

Hello It is only accessible by bus or car. Unfortunately train station is 7 min drive away. You don’t have to pay any amount to enter. Only parking if using a car. Excellent area for families.
