A picturesque lake surrounded by rolling hills and woodland, Alton Water Reservoir is a popular spot for outdoor activities such as walking, cycling, and fishing. The reservoir is home to a variety of wildlife, including birds, fish, and insects, and offers scenic views and tranquil atmosphere. Visitors can enjoy a leisurely stroll around the reservoir's perimeter path, take a bike ride, or simply sit back and enjoy a picnic with family and friends.
Alton Water Reservoir is a fantastic, sprawling waterpark & conservation area in a naturally beautiful location. Don't be put off by the 'reservoir' title, because although this is a functional, working water supply resource, it appears more like a natural lake surrounded by broad-leaved woodland. Birdwatchers, nature photographers, picnickers, hikers, & mountain bikers (who bring their own kit), can enjoy a day out here for nowt. Those who want to hire cycles or watersports kit can do so from the numerous specific visitors' centres on-site. The terrain meandering around Alton Water Reservoir varies from narrow, twisty, tree-lined footpath, to hardpack cycle trails, & quiet tarmac roads, (such as the scenic crossing at Lemon's Hill Bridge). I know Suffolk well & regard Alton Water Reservoir as one of its best attractions!
