Where the trails start

Every route sets off from the visitor centre, by the Waterfront Café. Both directions are signed from waymarker A.

Check the season

Some sections may close from November until April when ground conditions are wet, so it is worth checking before a longer route. The trail is road stone and loose gravel, with natural ground in places.

Take a map with you

Printed trail maps are available from the Waterfront Café, and there are map boards at the information points around the reservoir.
