We spent Easter Sunday afternoon at the lake - three of us did a Have-a-Go windsurfing session with a very cheery and energetic instructor (which everyone greatly enjoyed) while I ran round the 13.5K perimeter of the lake (very scenic trail run!). Lots of people and dogs were enjoying the lakeside walk - near the visitor centre it's accessible by mobility scooters, while down at the south end in the woods it's wilder. Great place for kids to burn off some energy.

Lovely walk, very peaceful it took my 14 year old son and I four hours to walk the 9 miles. Nice cafe by the lake which served amazingly yummy ice cream. Parking was reasonably priced £4.30 covered our walk and the toilets on site were clean too.

We walked right round this lake (9 miles according to the website)it took us about four and a half hours and it was very muddy in places,but well worth the effort. Shame it was the time of year when the tea rooms were closed! Beautiful scenery.

This well-managed lake has a good programme of events to get involved in, with numerous nature-themed walks, including a Dawn Chorus Walk and evening Bat Walk, as well as 'fish off' competitions!
