Tips

November 16, 2020

Cycling

The most northerly of a trio of reservoirs above Lustleigh, Kennick Reservoir is a picturesque place for a rest. Any paths around the southern half of the reservoir are reserved for private anglers but the road and adjacent parking is quiet enough to stop in. You can also walk south to Tottiford reservoir where you’ll find public footpaths and plenty of grassy banks that make fantastic picnic spots.

While there are plenty of ducks, it’s the egrets that will catch your eye. Both little egrets and great white egrets have been seen here.

Constructed in 1881, Kennick Reservoir covers 50 acres (20ha) and neighbours Tottiford and Trenchford Reservoirs. For those keen on fishing, it's worth knowing that Kennick is a premier rainbow trout fishery, and waterside access here is limited to anglers only, whereas you can walk around the edges of the other two reservoirs.
