Fishing equipment visible on the house,

Siblyback Lake is a reservoir on the edge of Bodmin Moor. The dam blocks a small tributary of the River Fowey.

Small smuggling town with a nice museum and cottages.

The dam was built in 1968 to create the reservoir which provides drinking water and tops up the water levels of the River Fowey during the dry months. Once a small tributary of the River Fowey, Siblyback Lake now holds 3 billion litres of water.

Small, beautiful fishing town with a smuggling past. The cottages and the mill at the entrance to the town are very nice. We were there at low tide and the boats were lying in the mud.

Bring swimming stuff and a picnic.

Enjoy this traffic-free gravel track around Sibleyback Reservoir that's designed with pedestrians and cyclists in mind. The 3 mile (5 km) trail is also suitable for adaptive cycles, wheelchairs and pushchairs, and takes in both the Sibleyback Dam and idyllic woodlands. Wildlife lovers will be thrilled, as there's often plenty to see on and near the water, as well as a bird hide to hunker down in to watch.
