가장 멋진 호수 4곳

Lemons Hill Bridge carries the road across the northern end of Alton water reservoir. It links the two parts of Tattingstone village.

The best view of the upper part of Alton Water. A wide, fast descent to the bridge from either direction with a short climb out.

The road is a dead end but the lakeside view is very nice. Worth it if you want somewhere scenic to stop although not always very tranquil in the summer with the watersports centre, neighbouring campsite and playground.

the welcome cafe had great flapjacks for refuelling

Lemons Hill Bridge crosses Alton Water and links the two parts of Tattingstone which were split when the reservoir was created. A great number of buildings were lost. In the north is the village pub, the White Horse, a lovely place to stop, while in the south is an 18th century workhouse and the parish church. If you are running through the village keep an eye out for the red phone box which is home to a collection of audio recordings of people who were impacted by the flooding of the area to make way for Alton Water.

Rolling lawns, lakes and woodlands, Christchurch Park is a great place to find nature on a run in Ipswich. It opened in 1985 and has been a popular place for relaxation and activity since. There are pubic toilets to the east of Bridle Way.

The visitor centre at Alton Water has a cafe, open all week from 10:00am - 4.00pm, there is also an outdoor picnic area. There are 8 miles of cross-country tracks around the reservoir, with bike hire available.

The largest manmade reservoir in Suffolk, Alton Water is a tranquil place to whittle away some time on a bike Tour. It took over 13 years to construct the reservoir, opening in 1987. The waters' surface area measures a whopping 400 acres (160 ha) – plenty big enough to enjoy various watersports!
