Chasewater — Attraction in Lichfield

Chasewater lake /reservoir is situated just outside of Burntwood and Chasetown in Staffordshire.

There's plenty of green open space for walking the dog, taking a stroll or running a circuit.

There's also a park for the kids and an Innovation centre where you can have a drink and a snack and use the toilets if you need to.

The kids may also like feeding the swans, ducks, geese and gulls from the shores of the lake or from the little fort.

The lake has a sailing club and a water sports centre and it also has it's own small railway running for 2 miles round the shores. The water sports centre have regular activities including water skiing and events such as small powerboat racing.

There is on road car parking by the station cafeteria (the cafe car park is reserved for those travelling on the railway) and at the innovation centre entrance there is pay and display...

Such a beautiful place. I dont know if we arrived too soon from lockdown but the only fault we found was by the cafe. The park wasn't much of a park. It had the frames for swings ect. But nothing and it was closed off. Such a shame for our little one. Hence the one star missing. But the snack shack place was beautiful for its ice cream and so was the cafe. Well thought out in the one way systems. And its such a beautiful place to come with the dog and children. Very open and plenty of benches for a partly quiet morning. Id advice being pic nic blankets as a back up. As I can imagine when things are back to normal this...

Nice park and lake. Shame that you have to pay for car parking now though. The car park could be fully tarmac to justify the cost of parking.

The park area is also a little dated and could do with a refresh and making slightly bigger.

The facilities are good, making for a great day out.

When I was there, there were people having. BBQs; I’m not sure if these are allowed or not though.

Plenty to do and see around the lake during the open season. Not the best if it’s wet...
