周辺の湖・トップ5

Set in the rolling hills of the Somerset and Dorset border. There are lots of pretty wildflowers and great views across the lovely blue waters, which attract a wide variety of butterflies such as Small Skipper and Marble White.

Comprising of five distinct zones, the park boasts a diverse array of landscapes and feautres. From the bustling pathways and water routes of Ninesprings to the Riverside walk, where the tranquil ambiance of the woods embraces you, allowing you to escape the urban bustle and wander alongside the meandering path of the River Yeo.

Good atmosphere, scenery and facilities (picnic area and loos)

Excellent gravel either way! Technically no visitors welcome, however, anglers were friendly and it seems fine to stop for a sandwich and a drink in the car park. Best to keep the noise down to a minimum and stay within the car park only.

Chard Reservoir is no longer used as a commercial reservoir but is managed as a nature reserve. A lovely, peaceful spot to stop and watch the water birds.

Built in 1955 Sutton Bingham reservoir is managed by Wessex Water. It's a popular fishing and walking destination and a pretty spot for a stop off while riding around central Dorset. There is a public toilet and bike racks in the car park.

Sutton Bingham reservoir is filled with carp and trout, perfect place to stop for rest and use up any old bread, feeding the carp.

Nice place to make a little stop
