Great place for a run - Great place to get some fresh air any time of the day. We go running around the mere after the main gates are closed. It is open 24 hours for... read more pedestrians and dog walkers.

  A really nice place for a lakeside walk. On weekends there is canoeing and other activities. There is a small charge for car parking and there are toilets.

One big downside to this park is the dog excrement left by irresponsible dog owners. On a walk round one day we saw 4 lots which had been left on the path, one lot left right in the middle of the path and it was a big dog. Disgusting. Don’t be so selfish, clean it up and bin it. All dogs should be kept on leads.

  An excellent walk around the lake with a good coffee to finish in the coffee shop. Not too far a walk bu

  Staff at the cafeteria rude and unhelpful!!!
However the park is well kept and definitely with the trip.

  We stopped here for a picnic to break up a journey.

This is a great place for walking a dog, and the cafe is also dog friendly, with a large outdoor terrace. Well worth a visit.

  Lovely walk, well kept park, blessed today with a warm breeze and sunshine.
Lovely to be out, nice coffee from the on site cafe.
Will definitely become a regular walk.... read more

  I have know this place for most of my life, from our 2 sons windsurfing days. All the water is now fenced off as its owned by a fishing club.... read more Its a beautiful walk around the mere, shame you cannot wild swim . The cafe would make money from wild swimmers who need hot drinks and cake pizzas etc.

The walkway is good for prams and wheelchairs so it accessible for all.In the summer ideal for picnics.

  Lived in the area for many years and this used to be a place I very much enjoyed taking my dogs for a walk off lead. I can see from... read more reviews that I am not the only one who is very disappointed that this place of natural beauty has been fenced in and dogs restrained due to the complaints of the minority. Yes I’ve read the reply that is cut and pasted in response to comments like mine. But quite frankly it’s flannel. If the lake posed such a safety hazard - why is it the case that not all lakes in Cheshire and indeed the country are not fenced in? One only has to travel a few miles down the road to Brereton Heath to see how visitors and their dogs enjoy the natural beauty without the need for barricades and ruling that dogs must be on leads. I agree with the change from voluntary donations to parking fee. And the cafe at the main car park is a welcome addition. BUT PLEASE reconsider your stance with respect to keeping dogs on leads and the fences and notices everywhere.

  In the area on holiday we visited a few times for a walk. Very pleasant surroundings great path to walk on. Everyone we met socially distanced. How nice that dogs... read more have to be on a lead & owners that abide by it.

Highly recommend and will definitely be returning to do more water activities in the future.
