What visitors say
Really enjoyed the Roman event at this unknown gem. Wonderful playground for children with lots of equipment. Nice little shop, reasonably priced. Cafe is good, though fairly expensive. Small little Heritage museum with some artifacts. Really nice trails with much wildlife to be seen and some fun sculptures. Some great sounding workshops. Only thing to pay for is parking (and refreshments or workshops!)

A lovely place to visit and you can wander around for hours or just 20 minutes. It was very peaceful and some nice sculptures dotted around. The cafe was good with outdoor seating looking over a lake.

Located within a beautiful nature reserve and surrounded by lakes and open grassland, Stanwick Lakes is a fantastic place for a full day out. There are well maintained walking trails and cycling paths, plus plenty of picnic spots and BBQ facilities, you can enjoy a relaxing stroll, get some exercise, let the kids burn off energy, and have a barbecue all in one visit. The children’s play area is especially impressive. It caters to different age groups and includes a large wooden adventure playground, climbing frames, a giant slide, rotating swings, rope nets, an artificial stream, and a sand play area. There’s plenty of space for kids to explore, climb, jump, and enjoy water and sand play in a safe outdoor environment. Stanwick Lakes combines natural scenery with thoughtfully designed play facilities, making it an ideal destination for families looking to spend quality time outdoors. Highly recommended for a fun and active family day out.

Lovely walk around the lake. Good food and service in the visitor centre which also has a nice little shop. Interesting archaeological finds and varied activities are available. Lovely view across the lake from the café. Great for birdspotting.
