Scaling Dam Sailing Club

Great walk around the circular route it’s only 3mile but you can spend a lot of time looking for wildlife the dogs loved it once you get around the back the dogs can have a sniff around there are some beware of adders signs .. not sure if they still around with it cooling down . I can imagine it gets pretty muddy around the back of the dam but the front is all footpath if you want a quick walk

Wonderful place for the family and sailing and angling enthusiast. Bird watching and On-site WC boat house shop in the summer. This is a seasonal club with on site parking which is chargeable. Highly recommended a visit with the family.

Scaling Dam is a lovely place for families - sailing, open water swimming, paddle boarding, kayaking, walking, fishing and more. There's a small shop selling ice creams and drinks and a club house with a bar which holds social events. Membership is very cheap for the year and allows for a simple non-smoking membership, which is cheaper and will save money on parking charges. There is a path all the way around the dam which takes in all sorts of flora, through woodland, alongside the dam wall, through picnic areas, up on moorland. It can get a bit boggy in places around the edges of the moor but it's worth it for the views and fresh air.

Just went to take some photographs and stumbled upon a yacht race. Lovely and scenic view. Also has a well built and located bird watching hut.

I've recently completed my level 1 and 2 RYA sailing certificates here and plan on becoming a member. Lovely location and friendly staff and users. Would recommend
