Nothing quite like a wonder along a canal towpath during a nice English summers day. The sights and sounds are beautiful, it’s also nice to sit and reflect whilst watching the narrow boats pass by.

We had been saying we would visit the Reservoir for many months and finally we did. It was a beautiful sunny day in September. The paths were excellent and as my husband has trouble walking on uneven paths this was the best we have been on in a while, and the views around the lake were magnificent. It is dog friendly and some nice public houses around for refreshments. I cannot recommend this place highly enough.

We have been going here since lockdown and it is a great walk. You can meet up with friends and family and have a lovely walk round which doesn’t take long while chatting away. We go nearly everyday to see the ducks and swans as well as climbing and playing hide and seek.
