Thanks to Three Rivers District Council for allow us to locate the caches around the Lake

Come and explore the lakes at Rickmansworth
Aquadrome Local Nature Reserve.
The 41 hectare site is situated at the northern end of the
Colne Valley Regional Park.
The Local Nature Reserve you see today is the result of
gravel extraction. The gravel extraction left behind large
“holes” in the valley floor that now form the two lakes.
Some of the extracted gravel was used to build the
original Wembley Stadium.
The lakes naturally filled with water when extraction
stopped in the 1920s, aided by natural springs.
Batchworth Lake is now topped up by the River Colne,
and then drains into the lower lying Bury Lake.
There are a range of activities to try on the lakes
including windsurfing, canoeing, water skiing, kayaking,
sailing, fishing and model yacht sailing.
