ラニビットの湖・トップ5

You'll need to park the bike up, just off the road, adjacent to a gate (hidden behind a tree!) Then walk up the track to the Tor and the old quarry. Lovely to explore the remains and also the small lakes up there.

Breney Common is an important wetland, open water and dry heathland site designated as a SSSI and nature reserve. Historically it was a tin mining area which left the depressions and landforms which then became ponds and ditches. There are a wide variety of plants and animals here, the area supports several dragonfly and damselfly species.

Just behind Par beach is a small wetland. A few chalets from Par Sands Holiday Park look out across the lake which must make for a beautiful view at sunrise & sunset. In years gone past it was a model boating lake but now a tranquil nature reserve.

This gorgeous campsite and glamping site has traditional tipis to stay in as well as a camping field and ‘wild’ hidden camping spots. At the heart is a huge lake in a disused quarry where campers can swim, fish or borrow rowing boats and canoes to pootle about on the water. The campsite cafe, the Gastropod, is a lovely place for a pitstop.
