Lovely walks with lots of wildlife to see, particularly lots of dragonflies today. Disappointing that several of the walks were closed due to maintenance though nothing taking place today. Why not close one at a time when work is actually happening.

This was our first visit and it aint to far from us so think we will visit again. Ideal for walks (3 different routes you can do). Some great spots for picnics if the wether is on your side.

Had a lovely walk around all three of the coloured routes. It's fairly muddy on some of the paths at the moment, but no trouble if you're wearing walking boots.

We went on a dog walk around the lakes, not so easy to find if you don’t know how to get there. Aim for NATS Swanwick, and turn right at the mini roundabout just before the gatehouse, this will take you down a small windy road to get to the car park. Lots of sensory things to do with kids there too. I would recommend keeping kids and dogs close as the lakes could easily be fallen into if they slipped. They recommend that dogs be kept on leads if they are likely to jump in the lake as it is a nature reserve. Very peaceful, I’ve never seen more than 2 people there! (Although we do go during the winter more). Can take anywhere from 15-1.5 hours to walk around, depending on what route you take - lots of sign posts to help you choose where to go, or just follow any path! Very well maintained and is beautiful. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a bit of quiet time or a mindful walk.…
