The reservoir features a well-maintained footpath, 2km (1.2 miles), that encircles it, providing an easy and accessible route for walkers of all abilities. The path is relatively flat, making it suitable for families with strollers and individuals with limited mobility, although a very short stretch is beside a road. If you want a longer walk, you can walk out the back of the reservoir through the woods, join the Wendover Arm Canal, and either head into Wendover or take a more rural route towards Halton.

As an SSSI, the reservoir is home to various bird species, especially waterfowl. It’s a fantastic spot for birdwatchers, so bring your binoculars or camera. Depending on the season, you might see a diverse range of birds, from ducks, swans and geese to more uncommon species.

Although unsuitable for a dog visit, fishing is popular at Weston Turville Reservoir. You must obtain the appropriate permits, as local angling clubs manage the reservoir.

As well as a nature reserve, the reservoir hosts a sailing club, which adds to the relaxing atmosphere on fine days.

If you fancy a longer adventure, the Wendover Woods trail network is only ten minutes by car away and makes a great follow-on trip.
