FAQ

Can I bring a barbecue (BBQ)?

To protect the forest and wildlife, open flames, including, but not limited to BBQs, camping stoves, pizza ovens and fires are not permitted at Moors Valley.

Is there a cash point at Moors Valley?

No. However our parking pay stations and all outlets will accept payment by cards and contactless devices.

Can I feed the swans?

We don’t advise feeding the swans unless the weather is particularly cold and icy as swans normally find enough food in the wild without needing supplementary feeding. If you do feed them, we ask you only to do so when they’re in the water. If you feed them when they’re out of the water this can encourage them to venture into the picnic area and to chase. Find out more about swans on the Wildlife Trusts website.
