Isn't the charge only for the waterfall and tearooms area with the whole of the Glen being free access?
Last I heard, it's for sale. A couple called Barry and Jean have owned it for the last 30 years or so. Jean recently passed away and Barry is managing on his own until such time as a new owners are found. This was the position in Feb this year. If anyone has any update, please let us know.

My wife had been struggling with ill health for the past few years following a stroke and I had been tending to her as well as trying to satisfy customers' needs. Which is why the place has been up for sale. In all weathers she had as far as she could manage to come out to see to customers. She died on 21st December through a massive heart attack on the way to hospital. I am endeavouring to open up again for this season until it is sold. The fee goes to cover the expenses (the car park is rented from a local farmer but is not charged for) and the wonderful comments and repeat visits we have got from so many people over the years far outweigh the few who think otherwise. The old saying of pleasing some of the people some of the time but all of the people none of the time is true."
Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
