Three Houses is a wonderful parkland area, with many picnic tables dotted around under huge trees providing shade. Being in the middle of this open expanse of parkland allows for cooling breezes to blow off the heat of the day. On your left you will see the Three House facility with showers and toilets, directly opposite the facility is a fresh water stream which is ice cold and very refreshing after being in the car!
Take a dip here and then relax on the grassy banks under a tree and watch the world go by, it is a fantastic spot for a picnic and very popular with both locals and visitors alike. There is a huge play ground for children with swings and slides, so a great day out for all the family. The area is patrolled by NCC security to ensure the facility is looked after and to ensure your safety.
