Managed by the RSPB, the reservoir with its Victorian stone dam was built for the purpose of supplying Liverpool and Merseyside with fresh water. Cycle around the lake, walk or amaze at the wooden carved sculptures. The Ynys-hir Nature Reserve, where Springwatch is being filmed is also a good day out.
