Easy access, via a footpath sign over a stone stile, down through bluebells to the shoreline. Signs for private fishing, but very empty. Lovely views. Felt secluded. Tree lined. Plenty of access points.
Location
Getting there
Signed private road but plenty of parking and footpath signs galore.
Accessibility
Stiles, slopes, large step down into the water, but no fences to impede access.

Frequently asked questions
Is this lake safe for swimming?
Check the Conditions tab for surface state and wind conditions. Review the Quality tab if this is a designated bathing water. Always read recent community reports for local advice.
How cold is the water?
Check the Temperature tab for the current estimate and 7-day trend. Lakes hold heat longer than rivers but can develop a thermocline. The water below the surface can be dramatically colder.
What should I bring?
A tow float for visibility (especially important where boats operate), warm layers for after, and consider a wetsuit in colder months. Check for designated swimming areas.
