About Welford Reservoir
Birdwatchers get the best deal here. The reed beds attract kingfishers and herons, while winter brings flocks of wildfowl that make the early morning mist worthwhile. Spring's when it really comes alive though, with lapwings calling across the water and skylarks overhead.
Families will find it suits them well - there's space for kids to run about safely, and the circuit takes roughly an hour and a half at a gentle pace. Dogs love it too, though keep them on leads near the water edges. The car park's free and reasonably sized, rarely full except on sunny weekends.
From Dome From Home or Brook Meadow, both within two miles, it makes a decent morning out before the afternoon heat builds up. The lack of facilities means bringing your own refreshments, but that's half the appeal - proper countryside peace just outside Northampton's reach.
