This is the first time since 1939 that visitors can now walk the entire distance around the lake. 

Along the way see bird boxes that are home to owls, blue tits, robins and woodpeckers and look out for kingfishers, swans, herons and crested grebes on the lake.   At the foot of the lake sit three second world war pill boxes built to defend a key crossing point on the river Eden.    The walk around the lake will take approximately 1 hour and an information leaflet is available from the information centre highlighting the wildlife and points of interest.

Rowing Boats: These are available for hire at weekends (£10 for an hour) from the boathouse on the lakeside near the Loggia. Available weekends, special event days and school holidays until the end of October.
