In the nature reserve’s converted ranger office, there’s now an exhibition about the Dell’s industrial heritage and a quaint tearoom.

This Victorian building was restored in 2013 and has quickly become essential to any visit to the reserve.

You can come for a light meal, high tea or decadent chocolate fondue, or to peruse the heritage room, which also puts on short-term exhibitions by local artists.

The centre is open on Fridays and weekends, and your meal or tea will often be accompanied by a musician on the baby grand piano.
