Really nice place. Lots to do but parking is a bit expensive if you are also paying to take part in an activity as well.

The reservoir is beautiful and very large. There are campsites and a large area with a playground. The surrounding atmosphere is beautiful and the weather is nice.

Great for a day out on the reservoir, a walk or cycle. There is also a well maintained campsite, a cafe (which, like the parking, is a bit pricey). Oh and a little randomly, Highland Cattle !! If you like the great outdoors, it's well worth a visit
