가장 멋진 호수 7곳

There are great views of 'Compton Pools' from many vantage points along this route. The pools are really lakes as they were turned into a single expanse of water by Lancelot Capability Brown circa 1769. The hills, the house and the bridges provide a beautiful backdrop to the lakes.

We had to double back on ourselves slightly to see the lakes, as they were hidden behind a hedge

Great for walking the dog and deer are everywhere

Documentary evidence suggests that this canal reservoir belonged to the Warwick and Napton Canal Company. It dates from the Imperial period, and is located 200m south of the western end of Stockton Locks. Opened as a commercial day-ticket fishery in 1997, Stockton Reservoir is an attractive seven acre lake set in pleasant countryside between the villages of Stockton and Long Itchington to the south of Rugby and Coventry.

The pond is well kept with so much space with grass in this lovely village, lots of routes from here with so many cyclist.

Bishops Bowl Fishery sits on a 90 acre former limestone quarry, located on the Oxfordshire/Warwickshire border. The quarry work many years ago has created an attractive stone faced bowl. The whole site is recorded as a site of scientific interest.  As at Lyme Regis, the Blue Lias at Harbury is rich in marine fossils. In 1927 and 1928 the skeletons of two marine reptiles were found in Harbury quarry. They are an ichthyosaur and a plesiosaur, and both fossils are now in the Natural History Museum, London. The plesiosaur is the unique example of the early Jurassic species Macroplata tenuiceps.

Wildlife in the parkland This waterfall or cascade acts as a dam to maintain the water level of the lake. The lake is a haven for wildlife and birdwatching – it's always worth pausing to see what's around. In the past, the lake was used as a fish pond to provide fresh food for the house.
