Tips

Hiking

Eastwell Lake is a man-made lake that is very rich in wildlife. Herons fish on the shores and kingfishers can be observed here. It is home to many native wildfowl and is an important site for migrating birds. Keep a look-out for badgers, stoats, and roe deer, too. Interestingly, Queen Victoria is said to have skated on the lake once whilst it was frozen over.
