General
Description - A beautiful private lake in the Staffordshire hills, much loved by boat users. Around 2km long, it makes for an enjoyable leisure day, particularly with children. On the eastern bank runs the miniature steam railway, and around the lake are numerous interesting waterside houses.
The beauty of the facilities (cafe, toilets, easy pontoon launching) makes it excellent for multiple sessions on the water. In busy times, you will share the water with many other boats, but the scenery you are in is wonderful.
Launch fee of £7 per boat

Parking is included in your launch fee. Pay the warden and they will give you a slip to display in your car window
