Cambridgeshire - Grafham Water
There's something for everyone at Grafham Water
Grafham Water is England's third largest reservoir and can be found nestled in 1500 acres of beautiful Cambridgeshire countryside. There’s a huge range of activities on offer, including watersports, cycling, walking and fishing.
Grafham Water has been designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest for over 30 years. The western end features a 280-acre nature reserve and is home to ancient woodlands, reed beds and important populations of several bird and amphibian species. It’s an idyllic place to stretch your legs and get away from it all.
It has nine miles of well-maintained tracks for cycling or walking, nature trails and bird hides, fishing areas, watersports, picnic spots, cafés and even an inflatable aqua park.
Grafham Water is one of the most popular bird watching sites in the country, with rarer visitors such as ospreys and the occasional Slavonian grebe to be spotted, alongside the resident mallards and greylag geese. With nine miles of shoreline, and around 170 species of bird recorded each year, there’s always something to see.
