Small woodland lake on Cannock Chase offering mirrored reflections, reedbeds, and tree-lined shorelines. Ideal for tranquil waterscapes, seasonal color (autumn golds, spring greens) and birdlife. Easy access from Gravel Lane with roadside/layby parking and level paths—no entry fee. Best at sunrise or golden hour for low light and mist; weekdays and early mornings avoid walkers and dog-walkers. Weather: calm, cool mornings give best reflections; breezy days favor long exposures for silky water.
