Inland Lake and walking area
On the South side of Dartford Park there is a tunnel under Princes Road which leads to the Brooklands Lakes, there are also other many ways into the lakeside from around the area. There is lots of wildlife to see both around, on and in the lakes. There are two main walking paths that take you around the edge of the lakes the shorter of which splits the area into two lakes. The lakes are primarily used for fishing but there are lots of different varieties of water birds and swans can also been seen on the lakes. Terrapins can also be seen either in the water or basking on trees in the sun. A lovely area to walk around whatever the time of year.

We visited 3 parts of the canal. We put our kayak in at Hamstreet - the bridge near the garden centre and paddled to Bilsington and back. Lovely peaceful stretch of the canal. We visited Hythe Lock and walked a fair bit of the canal. A good, free car park and stunning views. We also parked in Hythe and walked a stretch. Really lovely. The bottom line - its quite stunning to walk by and kayak on. For kayaking you have to have a licence from Hythe Lock to Seabrook which is why we explored further up - glad we did.

What a peaceful retreat! This area gives the term ‘tranquility’ a whole new meaning! A canal houseboat community in complete harmony with nature - absolutely wonderful! There’s a great footpath (tow path) along the canal and easy access to the many little bridges spanning the canal. I wonder how many visitors to Oxford actually experience this lovely place ... or do they immediately rush to the city centre to enjoy all the stunning historical architecture? Of all the places I’ve been to in the world, this section of the Oxford Canal is among the most beautiful. It’s very easy to reach: if heading into town from the train station, it’s that section of the canal that’s on the left.

i have been near to the mill pond most of my life in my younger years my friends & i would paddle in the stream & hang about there. now we take our dogs over there everyday when we can. the mill pond has great walking areas nearby & lots of different birds on or near the water.

What a most enjoyable walk round the lake! In fact we saw a snake on the way back which was great fun. Highly recommended.

We live 10 minutes walk from this lovely place, and it takes about 20 minutes to walk around its shores. If you want a quiet peaceful walk, go early morning, you'll see the geese and swans still resting and meet only a few dog walkers. If you have young kids, then take them to the swings and they will beg to stay longer. If you are needing a coffee or ice cream, then call in at the Piump Duck. If you want to spot an exotic resident, then go to the east side and look for the terrapins. On a summer evening you will see spectacular sunsets across the south downs from here. On a Sunday Afternoon it attracts the crowds, running and happy children, hiring the rowing boats and families with picnics. And, of course, its free!.

This natural harbour is a haven for birdlife as well as being a place to watch activities on the water. If you wish, you can just sit and watch the world go by. pick a fine day and bring your binoculars, there's always something to see.
