This is a beautiful and tranquil place to enjoy the outdoors. It is a great place to relax and unwind, or to get some exercise. The lake is also a great place to learn about wildlife and nature. The Lake is a beautiful reservoir and the fifth-largest artificial lake in the UK, with an area of 1,200 acres (4.9 km2). The lake was created in the early 1950s and was opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 1956. It provides much of the drinking water for the city of Bristol and surrounding area, taking its supply from the Mendip Hills. Some of the lake water is used to maintain the flow.
