Welcome to Wilstone Reservoir

Wilstone Reservoir is a stunning man-made lake located in the heart of Hertfordshire. The reservoir was created in the early 19th century to provide water for the Grand Junction Canal, which was a vital transportation route for goods and people. Today, the reservoir is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts, offering a range of activities such as fishing, bird watching, and walking. The surrounding countryside is also home to a variety of wildlife, including deer, foxes, and badgers.

The reservoir is a haven for anglers, with a variety of fish species including carp, bream, and pike. The lake is well-stocked and offers a great opportunity for both novice and experienced anglers to catch a big fish. The reservoir is also a popular spot for bird watchers, with a range of species including kingfishers, herons, and ducks. The surrounding woodland is home to a variety of birds, including woodpeckers, owls, and buzzards.

Wilstone Reservoir is a beautiful and peaceful location, perfect for a relaxing day out. The reservoir is surrounded by rolling hills and woodland, providing a picturesque backdrop for a picnic or a leisurely walk. The area is also home to a number of historic sites, including the nearby Tring Park, which was once the home of the Rothschild family. The park offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside and is a great place to explore with family and friends. Whether you're looking for a peaceful retreat or an active day out, Wilstone Reservoir is a must-visit destination in Hertfordshire.
