Siblyback Lake
Set against the striking backdrop of Cornwall’s Bodmin Moor, Siblyback Lake is another of the county’s hidden gems. With a 5km circular walk, great children’s facilities and a café serving artisan coffee and homemade food, you can easily spend an afternoon on the shores here.
Colliford Lake
Colliford is Cornwall’s largest inland body of water, roughly the same size as 682 football pitches! Boasting ample car parking, lovely picnic areas and lakeside walks, this pretty lake is also just a couple miles south of Jamaica Inn – the renowned smugglers’ haunt made (in)famous by Daphne du Maurier. There is a maze currently under construction at Colliford Lake, it’s called Kedroya, a 56 metre diameter Cornish stone hedge celebrating 60 years of the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. If you didn’t know, Cornish hedges can be very old, perhaps 4000 years. Try and find an old one.
