Bring a refillable bottle — there are water points across our sites, and many are part of the Refill scheme. You can also pick up a bottle at the cabin if you forget yours. Keep sipping throughout your visit to stay sharp and energised.

When the sun’s out, the forest is one of the best places to be. Our leafy canopies offer natural shade and cooler air — perfect for keeping your adventure comfortable even on the hottest days. Here’s how to make sure the heat doesn’t hold you back.
