Also a Local Nature Reserve, Ardingly Reservoir was built in the 1970s. It is a wildlife haven with Ospreys even seen here. There are two bird hides on this eastern shore while the south eastern end is a hive of watersports activity.

Hiking

The walk around the reservoir is really nice. The car park here makes access easy. Lots of dog walkers to say hi to, and loads of berries to pick in the summer!
