DAYSOUT
Get Lost In Nature at
BEWL WATER
BEWL WATER, AN AREA OF OUTSTANDING NATURAL BEAUTY LOCATED IN THE HEART
OF THE HIGH WEALD, AND HOME TO THE LARGEST STRETCH OF INLAND WATER IN THE
SOUTH EAST. RUSTIC WOODLAND TRAILS, EXCITING CYCLE AND FOOTPATHS AND AN
ARRAY OF NATURAL WILDLIFE SURROUND THE WATER’S EDGE – THERE IS SOMETHING
FOR EVERYONE AT BEWL WATER AND MARCH MARKS THE START OF THE NEW FISHING
SEASON, AS WELL AS MANY OTHER FUN ACTIVITIES FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY.
Activities include cycling or walking around
the reservoir, so that you can take in all of
the impressive views which surround you,
and, if you feel up to the challenge, you can
hike or cycle the whole 12.5-mile route. There
are lots of exciting nature trails to explore
too, along which you can spot some of the
nature and wildlife at Bewl Water. At this
time of year, you can spot blankets of bluebells,
an emones and wild garlic throughout
the spring!
Alongside these activities, there is plenty to
do out on the water including sailing, fishing
and pedalo hire (weather dependent), or for a
more relaxing experience, the Bewl Belle offers
boat trips around the reservoir so you can sit
back, relax and take in the panoramic views.
Keep little ones entertained with the nine-
hole mini golf, or the adventure playground
which is fully equipped with plenty of fun
climbing frames. There is also the brand new
soft-play area located in The Waterfront Café,
which is the perfect play area for younger
ones. For those who are a little older, try out
the Laser Challenge, which guarantees an
adrenaline-filled contest as you hide out and
camouflage yourself throughout the dens and
bunkers in the woods.
