About Southwater Country Park
Southwater Country Park offers 90 acres (36 ha) of level surfaced paths which provide an easy-going lakeside walk plus a selection of outdoor activities including an adventure-style play area, orienteering course, and tuition in canoeing and sailing.
The park also includes a beautiful wildlife area called The Quarry, which is managed for nature conservation and supports wildlife such as lizards, Kingfishers, Nightingales and various butterflies and dragonflies. The adjacent Downs Link Bridleway passes through the Park, making it a base to explore further afield on foot, bike, or horse.
