About this walk

A flat, wooded reservoir walk, quiet and peaceful in the winter months and fairly busy on a hot day.This walk has seen various improvements recently including new paths and better drainage but it is a work in progress!There are sheep in surrounding fields but no e on route itself. I keep my dog on the lead until I get through the gate at the end of the dam.There is a car park on the main road near a bus stop

Fabulous walk, but crossing the dam might be challenging if your human doesn’t like heights!

Please note that the image of the dam was taken by me when we visited the area for a wedding. More images can be found here: Link →

Loved this walk! Going to make it one of my regulars I think, I’m disabled to the fact it was flat the whole way round (minus getting onto and off the pavement at one end) was a huge plus for me, means I can go in my wheelchair if I’m having a particularly bad day, there were some shaded spots under trees on the way round so if it was a warmer day then the dogs wouldn’t be in direct sunlight the whole time and obviously access to water at the edge of the reservoir. 10/10 would recommend 🫶🏻
