Shearwater Lake Wiltshire
Easy To Find If You Know Warminster, It's The First Time We've Been And My Husband, Myself And Two Dogs Really Enjoyed Ourselves. Took A While To Figure Out Where The Dogs To Be Let Of There Leads As They Aren't Allowed Around The Main Lake Because Of People Fishing, However There Are Other Areas In Which The Dogs Can Have A Good Splash About. Lovely Scenery Of The Main Lake And Surrounding Forest. You Can Hire Boats And Take On The Lake, Have A Nice Bike Ride Around (Which We Are Planning) Or Just Enjoy The Walk. Would Recommend For Any Age. Lovely Afternoon Out. 106 Clay St Warminster BA12 8AF 3.08 miles

Location what3words segmented.nodded.serious

Vallis Vale Walk
A Beautiful Walk Through Woodland Next To The Mells River. The Area Is Steeped In Industrial History And A Site Of Special Scientific Interest.
