ウィストランドパウンド貯水池のおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Lovely little hike. Several benches inviting for a little rest and snack - just make sure to not leave your waste around. There is also small bird watch stand available.

This is one of the two churches in the village of Parracombe. Of the two, this one is the more modern, being a Neo-Gothic construction from 1878, designed by the architect William Oliver. The beauty of its tower is noteworthy.

This medieval church has a nave, a south aisle, a south porch, a three-story west tower, and a chancel. The latter two were built in the 12th century. Although it was on the brink of being pulled down in the 19th century due to its stability issues, it was ultimately repaired and preserved.

This church in Barton Town has very ancient elements, such as its tower from the 16th century, but others, like the nave and chancel, underwent restoration on two occasions in the mid-19th century, as happened with many churches during that time.

Wistlandpound Reservoir is a tranquil place where you can feel close to nature. It is an easy 2.6km hike around the edge of the lake which takes you through the forest and along the water's edge. All the while surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside. The path around the reservoir is accessible for both wheelchairs and pushchairs. The reservoir supplies drinking water to nearby Ilfracombe, Barnstaple and Combe Martin. If the water levels are low, look out for the ruins of the Lynton and Barnstaple Railway which used to run though the valley until the reservoir was built in 1956.

On the southern shores of Wistpoundland Reservoir, take a break in the bird hide to see what wildlife you can spot. You're fairly likely to see western cattle egret, and might be lucky to see a great white egret in the winter. There have also been recent sightings of white-tailed eagles up here! You can see all different waterfowl by taking a jaunt around the reservoir on the path.
