Large reservoir with wide waters, reedbeds, shoreline paths and an Osprey centre — ideal for birdlife, reflections, long panoramas and intimate marsh details. Best at sunrise or golden hour for warm light and glassy reflections; autumn and winter host migrating waterfowl and dramatic skies. Extensive accessible trails and hides; free parking at the Country Park (visitor centre may charge for some facilities). Weekday mornings reduce crowds; expect variable wind off the water.
