チョブハムの湖・トップ15

通りすがりの人々にとって、ここに広がる池はありふれたものに見えるかもしれませんが、別の見方もあります。例えば、童話作家オトフリート・プロイスラー（1923年～2013年）の物語の世界では、全く違った様相を呈します。そこでは、このような池は同時に、非常に魅力的な水の精の一族の生息地でもあるのです。彼の今日まで人気のある本「クラバート」は、一族の末裔が経験する素晴らしい冒険の物語を語っています。オーディオブックCDでは、水の精の母親が息子を冬眠に誘う歌を歌っています。 「小さな水の精、目を閉じて少し休みなさい。 私はここにしばらく座って、あなたが眠るのを見ているわ。 あなたの夢があなたを導き、素晴らしく感動させますように。 そして、あなたが再び目を覚ますとき、あなたにとって新しい年が始まるのです。」

The tow path in the Basingstoke canal, from Woking to the junction with the Wey, it is paved and smooth. The tow path in the Wey Navigation canal is more bumpy, roots etc. Apt for a gravel bike, perhaps not so for a road bike.

Rapley Lake is beautiful and sits on the outskirts of the Royal Estate of Bagshot Park. It's very peaceful and on a still day the lake is like a mirror. It's a bit of a dead end if you cycle there as there's only really one path in or out, but lots of little paths for hiking. There's ducks and geese who like to be fed!

Very close to Bagshot, within Swinley Forest, you will find this beautiful lake, perfect for a walk and for getting lost in the network of paths throughout the forest. The area can get a bit muddy after heavy rainfall, so keep that in mind and wear appropriate footwear.

It would be helpful to put in the walk title where it is!

Really peaceful here and just one of the many different and interesting features you'll find along this route
