A scenic reservoir with a 5‑mile loop, café and waterside views
Draycote Water is one of the best walking and cycling spots in the area — a large reservoir with a smooth 5‑mile loop, wide views, wildlife and a relaxed visitor centre. It’s ideal for a longer leg‑stretch or a gentle afternoon outdoors.
The path is flat and easy, making it perfect for families, bikes and pushchairs. There’s also a café overlooking the water — great for a drink after your walk.
Host tips
✓ The full loop is 5 miles — allow 1.5–2 hrs
✓ Very flat — ideal for bikes and pushchairs
✓ Café has great views over the water
