Large reservoir with reedbeds, islands and panoramic water reflections — prime for birdlife, migratory flocks, kingfishers and dramatic sunrise/sunset seascapes. Well-marked trails and hides give close views; free entry and parking at the main car park in Holcot. Best at dawn or dusk for warm light and glassy reflections; autumn and spring for migration and colour. Paths can be muddy; some hides and viewpoints accessible but bring waterproof footwear.
