For a longer stroll take a walk north along the lake for more birding and culture heritage, or continue up beyond the gorge to check the heath area (Stanghede) for Red-backed Shrike and Whinchat.

Bring a telescope only if you want to look far out on the lake.

A playground is nearby and up the road is a nature school.
