Watermead Lake — Attraction in Watermead

Watermead lake is a lovely place to visit if you're near the area; a little bit of a paradise in Aylesbury.

The lake is split into two, separated by the road bridge that comes into Watermead village. This creates a larger northern lake, and a smaller southern lake. Both can be walked around in their entirety, but you can walk each one separately. Walks can range from fifteen minutes to one hour. There are a couple of hidden coves in the woodland area at the northern tip with benches, and there is a large field on the western side of the large lake where you can picnic. There is also a child's playground on the western side of the small lake. However, access can be restricted to any of these locations by localised flooding if there has been a lot of rain.

The wildlife changes throughout the seasons, but you can expect to see ducks, geese, swans, coots, moorhens, and grebes. You may even be able to spot animals such as herons and terrapins. You are allowed to feed the waterfowl, but please do not use bread. Instead, you may purchase specialist waterfowl food from the shop in the piazza in the centre of Watermead Village.

Watermead is a beautiful place and lake. There is a nice pub in the are to hang out with friends. However we it's a nice local place to go for walks as well.
