Lovely you must be careful to don’t take wrong way and get lost that happened to us but all was just an amazing experience. You can also camp there carful also where you park your brand new car as are many horses and they could scratch by passing by. Also take water with you for a long walk
Beautiful area to walk around, the dam itself is also stunning. Walk on the west side of the Reservoir a few 100 meters up the road and you'll find a nice waterfall.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Beautiful shady walk round the lake. Followed the shore and then on to lane... All round the reservoir. Very helpful SW Lakes Trust gentleman at the Discovery centre gave us lots of info.
We went at the end of December after a lot of rain during the night. There was a lot of water on some of the paths - it's what you'd expect - but aside from slightly soggy shoes from some places, the paths were clean down to the bottom of the dam and we were treated to a thunderous cascade.
Hey there everyone, well off we went for a small mellow loop around Burrator Reservoir. A tad busy today but still mainly quite. As normal Dartmoor and the surrounding areas are fantastic and Burrator is no different. If you want a mellow walk this is a great start.
Lovely spot. You can walk around tge reservoir. There is a man made waterfall on the left hand side road. There are toilet facilities however these were rather grim. One toliet the hand dryer did not work and the the other the soap and water dispenser was not working.
Burrator Reservoir is nature at its best; breath taking, beautiful & dramatic set in a remote & tranquil area. The sheer force & sounds of gushing water on one side of Reservoir, with serene & calm lake on other side provide such contrast. The depth of Reservoir is both menacing & exciting with it's lake, a great habitat for many birds. There are many walks surrounding Reservoir area, both via road & alongside river. Can be quite cold & wet during winter months so wear appropriate clothing /footwear. Toilets near Reservoir although did not appear to be open.
Very helpful chap in the Discovery center, he told us the history behind the reservoir. We got some leaflets for walks, did 2 of them, really lovely walks. So peaceful and beautiful. Well worth exploring.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
A beautiful place to spend a few hours, ample free parking at various locations on the road around the reservoir, I would recommend the formal car parks at the northern end Norsworthy Bridge where access to the arboretum is possible and gives a short easy walk through the plantation, some of it on board walks adjacent to streams. Dartmoor ponies roam freely in the area, take care and time on the roads, there’s no need to rush. It is possible to do a circular walk encompassing the whole reservoir, but some sections are on or adjacent to the road. At the south eastern corner a small peninsular juts into the lake where the ruins of a small manor house Longstone Manor can be found. The southern edge of the reservoir is formed by Burrator dam. Nearby are the remains of an old open stone conduit which once fed water to Plymouth. Toilet facilities are available near the dam, but I’m not aware of any catering facilities – take a flask with you. Plenty of scope for a full day’s hike or just an hour or so at a gentle walk.
Even on an overcast day this is such a beautiful place to visit. Some good walks which can be a bit tough for little ones. There's often an icream truck to convince the little ones to keep going. Some amazing views overlooking the reservoir and lovely scenery in the woods too. Highly recommended.
