From here you can access the cycle/walking path along the top of the dam which gives great views up the length of Grafham Water.

The cycle path along the top of the dam is wide and flat and gives great views across the reservoir. Reach it from the Visitor Centre at the northern end although access at the southern end is trickier as you have to squeeze through a narrow gap next to a locked gate by the main road.

A raised platform crosses the wet meadow area. Here you will find the Yellow Iris in summer.

Cows sometimes graze here which encourages a variety of wild flowers to grow.

Here there are beds of reeds up to 2m high which are especially important for birds.

There are two species of newt in this pond: great-crested and smooth. These amphibians use the pond to breed and can often be seen moving around amongst the plants on bright days. The eggs are neatly placed inside a rolled up leaf for protection. The pond is regularly visited by dragon- and damselflies, sometimes ducks and moornens or the odd occasion! Source: Local signage
