Description

Forestry Commission now accept swimming at this site so we can share the beautiful location publicly at last! There are 2 lakes, both swimmable with multiple entry points. Sandy base with sloped entry at all entry points. The Public Lake can be weedy in summer but with underwater plants rather than stringy weeds! It's a very popular location with locals so busy on nice days. KAYAKING/PADDLEBOARDING NOT PERMITTED

Getting There

Accessibility
