Cotswold Water Park East, off the A417 between Fairford and Lechlade

Our walk will start at The Lakes Hotel, GL7 3DT What3Words:messing.stolen.coast

The hotel is not signposted from the main A417. There is a very smart high curved stone wall at the entrance, then follow the sign to Bar & Kitchen and carpark.

A morning walk round a couple of the lakes to include the hide at Whelford Pools. We will hopefully find plenty of wintering wildfowl and other species. Depending on the weather we may move to another venue after lunch for those wishing to extend the day.
