You can walk all around the southern lake on footpaths; mainly wide and level, but with a few short flights of steps. Please note that some of the low lying paths can get muddy so wellies or stout walking boots are recommended. Dogs on leads are also welcome
There are a few benches, viewpoints and minor paths. The northern lake can be viewed from a viewpoint and bench by the side of the road.
