The Regional Park covers an area of 10,000 hectares, with over 100km (62 miles) of waymarked paths. Approximately 600,000 people use in the park every year, with walking, cycling, horse riding and fishing just a few of the recreational activities.

We carry out many projects to increase the visitor’s enjoyment of the Park. These include:

  • path construction and maintenance
  • signage and waymarking
  • installation of access gates
  • habitat improvements for wildlife
  • improvement of facilities at visitor centres and other popular sites

You can help by contributing towards these projects. All funds raised are used only for new ‘added value’ projects on the ground, and not for the day-to-day running of the Service.
