A gorgeous place to stop on your ride and enjoy the views out over the lake. Look out for some excellent wildlife on the water and banks here too.

"Shipley Lake" is on the site of the former "American Adventure" Theme Park and is under redevelopment into the "Shipley Lakeside" leisure facility. The "Nutbrook Trail" part of National Cycle Route 67 runs along here.

Mapperley Reservoir is a peaceful body of water surrounded by bluebell woodlands, rolling farmland and some fascinating remains from the area’s coal mining heritage. The countryside around here is great for wildlife spotting, especially bird watching. Keep a lookout for coot, moorhen, mallard and kingfisher. In summer, listen out for the songs of chiffchaffs, willow warblers and blackcaps, plus the more familiar calls of robins and chaffinches. There is a visitor centre in nearby Shipley Country Park.
