Whitlingham Great Broad is a man-made lake in the Whitlingham Country Park. Huge amounts of material, quarried from the area, was used in construction projects nearby. Today, the area is a beautiful lake, popular with walkers, cyclists and watersports enthusiasts. At one end of the lake, there's an ancient forest and remnants of chalk pits and a Lime kiln.
