A beautiful place for adults,children and dogs alike. Plenty of varied areas to keep the children occupied and nice long walks around the lake for the dogs. A good venue for picnics as there is lots of seating scattered around the park.
This is an excellent facility for those who like to walk, with light refreshments, toilet facilities and parking on site. There are several acute speed bumps at the entrance, with parking close by and one or two disabled parking bays near facilities. A lot of the parking area is beneath trees, so car stays cool in hot weather. Parking rates are fair. The walk around the perimeter of the reservoir is a little over 4 kilometres, so make sure that you are able to walk up to 5k. Pathways are wide and good, mostly level, would be suitable for wheelchairs, though there are clapping gates at several points not sure if it’s possible to open the 5 bar gates for wheelchair access. It’s possible to walk along the dam at the south end. The scenery along the route is good and at our time of visit, we saw lots of damsel flies, swans and other bird life and wild flowers. There is a cafe serving light meals and drinks. Separate section for real dairy ice cream made at a local farm which is excellent quality though some may find quite sweet with those thick, layered cones. Price is fairly high. There are plenty of picnic tables around the area and a children’s play area. We found our visit to be most enjoyable.
Its lovely place to enjoy a day out for whole family... As there is play area for kids.. People can walk and do cycling etc.. Lovely huge lake.. Benches by the lake to sit and relax.. There is cafe and refreshments shops, public toilets and car park pay and display...so don't forget to keep some coins with u :...
2 car parks, an upper and a lower one. The lower one has toilets, and also a cafe. 2 x hot chocolates are £8 total The minimum cost is £3.20 to park. The walk around the entire lake is just under 3 miles. There is a path all the way around which is suitable for prams. No wellies needed at any time of the year. Bikes are not permitted to cycle around the lakes. Dogs are allowed and also allowed off lead in every area except the small wooded area that's for wildlife. It gets extremely busy here at the weekends to the point that people queue to get in the car parks down the country roads... Also this then can have an impact on the amount of people walking round which is essentially a small lake. Week days are fine, but its a place to avoid at the weekends unless you can get there really early.
All credit to the Park Rangers here. They've not been idle during lockdown. There's now a good path right the way around the reservoir and a lot of trees and shrubs have been cut back to open up the area. The total walk around the reservoir is about 2.74 miles. Great place to spend an hour or so walking your dog and lots of doggie poo bins all the way around. Well done guys!
One of my favourite places to walk in Northamptonshire. Ample parking, takeaway cafe, toilets. Play areas for children. Hard surfaced path all the way around the reservoir. Lots of wildlife to be seen. No bikes are allowed which means your not constantly looking behind you as with other reservoirs. I love going early morning for the sun rise or late summer evenings. Restrooms: Clean, situated near the cafe in the bottom car park Picnic area: Lots of picnic tables abd places to sit. No BBQs allowed due to previous anti social behaviour
It's a great park to spend some time with the family. My LO enjoyed the water play and the sand on the playground.I wish the walk around the lake was showed on the map too with approximately times probably as that was a bit of surprise for us and our 2 years old
We stopped by as we visited someone on Northampton, so on the way back to London we stopped for a walk...An outdoor space which could be improve... swimming and fishing lake when season's are permitting these activities, the pump house nothing really special, parking without choices, even you stay 2 hours still paying for 4 hours... No toilets... Seen someone barbecuing... Not sure if allowed or not... Tables for picnic ... A nice place if you're resident or close to it... But not worth a trip from London for example as nothing special...
Great place for an hour's walk during any season. The reservoir would also be good for cycling around. The café here is also nice and not too expensive, highly recommend the hot chocolates they do.
We went with our 3yo during last week of February on a Saturday. There are two parking areas that fill up fast so better reach there early to avoid disappointment. Parking charges are £3.2 for 4 hrs. There is a nice walking path around the lake which is well maintained and very scenic. It took us 1.5 hrs to walk around with our toddler. While we didn't use the play areas, they looked clean and well maintained. The men's toilets were clean as well. Would recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing weekend walk.
