Needham Lake is the site of a Local Nature Reserve - with wetland areas, meadows and a small woodland. It's home to a variety of wildlife.

Needham Lake has been consistently ranked among Visit England's top most-visited free attractions in the UK.

The Duck and Teapot café near the main entrance offers refreshments including hot snacks, cake, tea, coffee and ice cream.

Dunwich Dynamo feed stop - featured a coffee truck, and 3 food vendors. Long queues at 3am but much needed caffeine and extra snack as the temperatures dropped.

There are toilets here.

It’s a pleasant enough spot for a quick stop if the weather’s decent but one of Visit England’s top attractions? I find that hard to believe for a glorified duck pond in an old gravel pit next to a railway line!
