The walk

Ardingly Reservoir Walk

This is a lovely short and simple walk from the car park at Ardingly Reservoir.

One half of the walk takes you through some nice and peaceful open countryside with a nice view, and the second half of the walk takes you on a stroll alongside the gorgeous reservoir itself.

Walker review

Path through woods was overgrown and the farmland was deeply rutted and difficult to walk on. We went in June.
