An extremely
popular site for wind surfing especially during the summer months.This lake is a
relatively new addition to the recreational facilities that Tamworth has to offer.It was
originally excavated in part of what used to be The Castle grounds
in order to provide some of the construction materials for the road that runs alongside
it.
More recently there has been an additional area excavated to add to the lakes value as a
wildlife habitat.It supports many different species throughout the year and a leisurely
walk around the lake is highly recommended if you get the chance.During the winter months
the lake is a haven for birdlife giving a home to
Swans
MallardsCanada GeeseHeronsWater HensGulls
and many more.The lake is also very popular with fishermen/women.
