ゲイハーストの湖・トップ12

North lake is full of wildlife

The motorway right besides is quite noise, which disturbs the experience considerably. Also the part closer to the national bowl is a bit shabby. For the rest quite green pseudo-nature, but relaxing by bike.

An effort was made here to create a varied lake with a path around. It is quite nice, but as everywher ein the city the feeling of 'artificial' is quite strong.

Willen Lake North is part of the larger Willen Lake in Milton Keynes. The north side is well-known for its wildlife, particularly bird species, and offers quieter walking paths for nature lovers. The lake also includes scenic views of the famous Peace Pagoda, a Buddhist monument built in 1980 by the Nipponzan Myohoji order, which is one of the most iconic landmarks in the area.

Lodge Lake was created in 1981 to prevent Loughton Brook flooding the downstream area. It now has a park area that is popular as a recreational hub, especially with the Trim Trail that goes around the lake. There is parking nearby, but no toilet.

These unique, man-made lakes, formed by the extraction of clay for the nearby potteries, have become a haven for wildlife and make a pleasant passage on your bike

This is a stunning vantage point to look out at the tranquility and beauty of Willen Lake. A super place to come to blow off some cobwebs.

The Teardrop Lakes are an important part of the city’s lake system, able to take storm waters to prevent flooding of housing areas. They also provide valuable leisure facilities for the city’s residents. The variety of habitats, including dense reed-beds, makes the lakes an excellent spot to enjoy wildlife in a beautiful surrounding.
