The largest manmade reservoir in Suffolk, Alton Water is a tranquil place to whittle away some time on a bike Tour. It took over 13 years to construct the reservoir, opening in 1987. The waters' surface area measures a whopping 400 acres (160 ha) – plenty big enough to enjoy various watersports!

The best view of the upper part of Alton Water. A wide, fast descent to the bridge from either direction with a short climb out.

Scenic and peaceful place to stop. Even beautifully atmospheric when passing through in the pouring rain, makes a very wet tour more enjoyable.
