Fine man-made lake, with an excellent view across to Dudmaston Hall. The path on the west side may be closed on Fridays and Saturdays, so best check.

Discover this tranquil little lake tucked away in the Shropshire Hills. The lake makes a great picnic spot, or if you're feeling daring, a wild swimming spot, too.

Obviously not wild swim today, but a great spot to consider in the summer months, if wild swimming is your thing. https://myoutdoors.co.uk/adventure/dark-adventures-in-the-shropshire-hills-katy-goes-wild-swimming
