Geocache Description:

The Chelmer and Blackwater Navigation Series


Placed with the kind permission of Essex Waterways. Please refer to the Chelmer and Blackwater Navigation (GC37P3P) cache for more information on this walk along the canal.

Hanningfield Reservoir is set in mature woodland and offers superb views over the 870 acre Hanningfield Reservoir. It is an ideal place to view the wildlife within the nature reserve and access the Lyster Bird hide that is a short distance away. The nature reserve offers some beautiful walks through the woodland, taking in bird hides, ponds and views across the reservoir. The reservoir itself is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) due to the important numbers of wildfowl that use the reservoir in the autumn and winter, including Gladwell, Tufted Duck and Pochard. The spectacle of thousands of Swifts, Swallows and Martins feeding over the water during peak fly hatches is one of the delights for the summer visitor. 30 acres of the woodland are ancient in origin and spring flowers include carpets of Bluebells and Stitchwort. There are some really good nature trails on the reserve for all to enjoy.

Dogs and cycles are not permitted on the reserve and no water sports are allowed on the reservoir.
