Free Parking for 1 hour using the machine near the building. The other doesn’t work. You have to get a ticket for your window, even a free one. Easy walk around the lake, lots of birds.

Absolutely stunning scenery, peaceful & decent sized car park which is a pay & display bit also benefits of a BP EV Charger Unit that chargers a max of 50kw

This may not be the most difficult walk around a reservoir that you could possibly do on this green island of ours but it's still a rather pleasant experience. A great place to just sit and listen to the wildlife as they come flying past or waiting for one of the many humans to feed them from the duck feed machine. If you like a quick and easy walk, run or cycle in a lovely spot I couldn't suggest a nicer place.

Lovely walk round the reservoir. Car park available, (couldn't figure out how to add more time if paying via card though) 1st hour free with ticket, cheap prices. A lovely cafe to stop at. Lots of ducks to feed (NO bread)

Great place for a nice, quiet and chilled out walk, we got to see a bunny and alot of ducks. Also now links up to the actual res bit as a cut through to the back car park, very useful.
