It's a nice place to walk around, but not really sure why it should cost a fiver per adult, as it isn't that large and there's not really anything much for them to maintain. However there is some lovely wildlife to see along with the rocky side of the lake. Seeing a swan chasing a duck along the length of the water was entertaining, and there are some very large fish lurking under the lilly pads.

This place is a real surprise, we were expecting some kind of scaled down Brimham Rocks, but this place is so much more beautiful. I would recommend bringing a picnic blanket if you plan on having a chill out or a picnic as there are no picnic tables. But other than that, it’s amazing.

We have visited plumpton rocks a few times now and we love it. Such a beautiful place for a peaceful walk. Our 3 kids love it too (13, 10 and 7)

Brilliant place to visit. Kept the kids busy for hours, lots of rocks to scramble up and places to explore. Great place for a picnic.

Please be aware, this places costs £5 PER AUDULT! there's no indication of the charge until you're at the entrance. The car park is very "hit and miss" as you end up just parking where ever you can. In terms of the rocks, they're interesting and worth seeing, but not enough in my opinion to warrant the cost they're charging. There's no marked out routes, and you simply have to wander around, without really knowing where you're going. I have to question what the entry charge is for, and there appears to be zero outlay from an upkeep perspective. Also, please be aware that parts can be VERY steep. I saw a couple of pensions pay to enter and quickly gave uo as they were physically unable to do anything. Overall, I personally wouldn't recommend, as the cost isn't worth it.

Such a beautiful place for a picnic, this natural nature reserve is a wonderful beautiful spot which it great for children and big children to explore. It's great to see no litter about or any poo bags. The only thing that lets it down is the £5 per adult, it's too expensive. It should be £5 per car really as it's just a walk. I also wish the lake was in use and you could hire small boats out or even i could just paddle board on there. Now that would be worth £6 per adult :) Restrooms: Yes there was one portableloo on site right next to the carpark :) Picnic area: Find you're perfect spot and enjoy the scenery but please take your litter home

Absolutely stunning location and a lovely walk! And is dog friendly. Rated 3 stars due to the a few reasons. The walking routes are not clearly marked however there is a map but we didn’t find this until the end. You can see where others have walked but there are no “paths” so not mobility friendly at all. £10 entry (£5 per person ) kids are free. I understand this contributes to the up keep of the area however every bin was over flowing…there are zero facilities once you are there….the car park isn’t great on wet days it just felt some what over priced. They DO NOT TAKE CARDS it’s cash only on entry so we had to leave to find a cash machine (Sainsbury’s towards Harrogate is the nearest) Would be nice to see a few picnic benches and some signage on the routes

Lovely little walk and a great place to explore the unusual rocks and manmade lake. For £5 entry could do with having facilities, would definitely go back as a great place for a picnic on a summer's day.
