Had a fantastic day out at Manvers Lake! Peaceful walks, scenic views, and plenty of space to relax or get active. Great spot for kayaking, paddleboarding, or just enjoying nature. Ideal for families, couples, or solo time. Cargurudiy approved for a chilled-out escape! 🌿🚣♂️☀️
Sunny winters day stroll round the like with granddaughter... Finished off with a wonderful bacon and sausage roll, cup of tea and a chocolate brownie . All delicious and a lovely seating area looking out over the lake. Would highly recommend
Ordered a breakfast sandwich, cake (huge slice) and drink as a stop off on my lunchtime cycle route. Great value at under £10, plenty of outdoor seating and somewhere close by to safely lock up my bike whilst I enjoyed the stunning view across the lake. Lots of couples and groups socialising and enjoying the cold but sunny afternoon. Toilets also available in the visitor centre.
As stated before. Beautiful place. Amazing wildlife and the cafe has been upgraded. The coffee and selection of snacks, ice creams and drinks was brilliant. Forgot to add. If you're a coffee lover, life me... You must try their Flat White. Their coffee selection is brilliant and they also have extra shots of syrup if you like different flavour in your drinks. My friend had some in her black coffee and she loved it.
Peaceful setting outside though can be very busy. Good place for thinking. Coffee excellent
