Following the latest announcement from the government, we are excited to be welcoming more people back to our lakes from 29 March. We are awaiting guidance from national governing bodies with regards to particular activities, including watersports and overnight fishing - please bear with us whilst we await these details. In the meantime, the lakes will continue to stay open for our local communities to exercise.

Wikipedia Wimbleball Lake on Exmoor in Somerset, England, is a water supply reservoir constructed in the 1970s and completed in 1979.
The 161 feet (49 m) high dam is of concrete buttress construction and impounds the River Haddeo to provide a water storage capacity of some 21,000 megalitres over an area of 374 acres (1.51 km2). Aggregate for the dam came from a quarry at Bampton and sand from Uffculme. These were combined to give a pinkish tinge to blend in with the local geology.
