A clear purpose to “protect and enhance special places for people and wildlife” – by visiting one of our lakes and simply paying our small car parking fee you are making a valuable contribution to our environmental aims.

Alongside this is our mission of ‘more people having great experiences’. With more and more research indicating that green spaces have a key role to play in improving public health we believe we can make a regional difference to our nation’s wellbeing. Our lakes and environment can benefit local communities – improving physical and mental health through exercise and positive social interaction. We want people of all ages and abilities to use our lakes to improve their own health and wellbeing. We have something for everyone, including miles of footpaths and cycle trails, acres of beautiful woodland as well as amazing opportunities to get out on the water.

Our team of employees and community volunteers take immense pride in supporting the work of South West Lakes Trust, which is now the region’s largest combined conservation and recreation charity.
