It's a vast, scenic estate to cycle through, mostly on compacted, dusty gravel, but there are chunkier bits in some parts. Entering through Horringer and exiting via Chevington worked for me.

This wood is ideal if you enjoy peaceful running surrounded by nature and well-defined trails. It's a woodland dominated by mature pines and oaks, but also features recently planted conifers. Around you will also find Dale Pond – if you're a fan of dragonflies, this is your spot. There's a 2.5 miles circuit called the Yellow Walk, which starts and ends at the car park.

This lake will be the first one you see upon arriving in the area near the visitor center. It's the largest in terms of surface area, and numerous water activities such as sailing or canoeing take place on it. The trail that runs along the side of the lake offers excellent views at some points.

In addition to being able to grab something to eat or drink, at this center, you can get information to make the most of your visit to Lackford Lakes. They also have a shop where you can even rent binoculars if you've left yours at home. Remember that dogs are only allowed on the red trail and must be on a leash; guide dogs are the only ones allowed on the other trails and in the center.
