Surrounding the reservoir are 12.5 miles of self-guided walking and cycling trails that follow a collection of scenic forest paths and winding country lanes.
Designed to help visitors navigate their way through the extensive landscape, the guided routes range from short to long distances, allowing walkers and cyclists of all ages to see the reservoir at their own pace.
Maps can be collected from the Waterfront Café.
