This family's experience:

Activities: This 3,000 year old extinct volcano crater contains an ethereal turquoise lake. There was a £4 entry fee for adults, children were free. There were no toilets. It was a quick and easy walk on well maintained paths. We learnt a bit about the crater from the handy free leaflet and information boards

Highlights: The kids enjoyed the quick and easy walk on well maintained paths and learning about the crater from the information boards. We all loved the ethereal turquoise lake ✨
