Tucked away amongst the vast expanses of moorland of Dartmoor National Park, this is a delightful place to explore. The reservoir is surrounded by beautiful forests, heaths and winding rivers where you can swim. There is also varied wildlife such as sheep, wild ponies and birds. You can park at the reservoir, but in summer it is difficult to find a place.
