There is a local car park at the Activity Centre leading straight onto the walk around the reservoir. Currently the foot path is very wet and muddy in places but would be a nice walk spring/summer/ autumn. There are a few benches around the reservoir for stopping and taking in the view.

The perimeter path around the reservoir is very muddy in places currently due to the amount of rain. Welly boots needed in some places.

The Sussex Ouse Valley Way is a 42-mile (68 km) long-distance footpath that basically follows the course of the River Ouse from its source to the sea. It starts from Lower Beeding near Horsham to the coast at Seaford. It is generally regarded as an easy footpath, as most of the route is flat riverside walking. It is a very scenic journey as it goes through beautiful quintessential English countryside for most of its journey. Here by Upper-Ryelands Bridge on Border Hill Lane, you come across the fantastic structure of the Ouse Valley Viaduct that stretches out across you in all its magnificent structural glory, simply a stunning view.

This is the location of the only (single) public toilet on this route, and there’s also a kiosk for hot and cold drinks and ice creams. Long queues for both.
