Anderwood
 

Nestled in the trees, this shady car park is the perfect spot to enjoy a picnic whilst listening to the sounds of woodland wildlife all around. There is a permanent BBQ for hire at this site. The BBQ will cater for up to 100 people and is a great place for a family get together, group social or a corporate event. The site does need to be booked in advance as it gets very busy during the summer months. We provide the BBQ hearth and the gorgeous scenery and all you need to bring is food, drinks, charcoal and of course good company. The charge for using the site is: £50.00 Monday - Friday and £60.00 for a Saturday or Sunday. For more information on the Anderwood BBQ site or to make a booking please contact the Recreation Section on 023 8028 3141.
