This lovely flat path that runs around the entire reservoir makes for an ideal running spot. You will be treated to a diverse range of wildlife, excellent views, and numerous idyllic spots to stop and catch your breath.

Ravensthorpe reservoir and weir was built in 1890 to supply water to Northampton. Today you can wander around the beautiful water source and enjoy bird-watching, fishing, or just an opportunity to get some fresh air.

Idyllic spot for a picnic as well as a regular hang-out spot for some of our feathered friends such as geese and swans, and some rarer species such as the ring-necked duck and common crane.

Come early to avoid the crowds walking round most of the day, which can be tricky to navigate. Car park is open 7am-8pm - unsurprisingly, it is much quieter outside these times! When the car park gate is closed, the site is still accessible by bicycle via the pavement gate at the main entrance, or via the paths in from Coventry Road (Halfpenny Lane), or from Thurlaston or Draycote villages. Herons, woodpeckers and all sorts of other wildlife to see if you're there early! But do watch out for suicidal bunnies dashing across the path ...

The southern side is less hilly than the northern side! Café is good though the bike racks outside are a bit pants

There is a really nice cyclist friendly cafe here. worth having a cafe bike lock with you.

Nice trail around the lake.
