Great place to walk and walk the dogs. Good variety of wildlife to see. Very tranquil. Lots of woodland to explore. Play area for little monsters to burn off lots of energy. Lots of wildlife to observe. Can hire canoes to boat around the lake.

Beautiful wildlife. We saw several different species of dragonflies, moths, butterflies, as well as froglets, waterfowl and other birds. Great to explore! 😀

Great centre. Loved the walk around the lake to burn off the meal we had, well it burnt off part of it 😉 Will probably come back and try the other walks around the lakes. The ice cream in the centre is really good! And there is no massive queue like the van outside.

Nicely located behind the Shopping centre, this nature reserve and trail is just the anecdote needed when the other halves are busy shopping. Surprising vistas at many of the lookout platforms around the trail provide a glimpse of the rich wild habitat here. Your dog will need to be on a lead so not so nice for them, particularly if they like running around.

Gorgeous location, ideal for kids and adults. Went mini beasting and pond dipping. You can hire pedal boats. Excellent information centre with activities for the little ones and bird watching for the big kids. Well worth a visit. Located behind the shopping centre.

Lovely area for a walk. Im mot a local so would be better if it was sign posted as the others lakes are connected believe but without signage you guess is as good as mine as to where to go without getting lost

Made for walkers, good, more attention to.the placements of hides, in some ways too organised, young children like to explore, just walking is boring. There is a play area for younger Shildon. Good toilet facilities, in the boating area. A good place for the family, therecsre enough food outlets to cater for most tastes.

Went on an organised Bat Walk yesterday evening. Had a thoroughly enjoyable time. Well organised and informative. Saw and heard a variety of Bat species. Would recommend. Booking is.easy, if unable to book online can actually speak to a helpful Human on the telephone.
