Scot Lane runs on the northern bank of the reservoir. A pleasant, relatively newly planted hedge runs along this bank, and the views of the reservoir are lovely; you will be able to make out the dam from here on the opposite side of it.

Hiking

Different experience on each side of the reservoir. The track on the west / southwestern side is shaded and slightly elevated, running along the edge of plantations, and Scot Lane on the eastern side is a bit more exposed. A full circular route of the reservoir is around 5 miles or so.
