dog-friendly. They offer wholesome fresh local food, from warming home-made soups, to salads pies and quiches.\u00a0Don&#8217;t forget the locally made icecreams on happy hot summer days! Or if it&#8217;s getting nippy, perhaps get close to the cosy wood burner with a hot chocolate.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"nVcaUb\">Wimbleball Lake Walks<\/h2>\n<p>There are miles of footpaths, tracks and bridleways to suit all ages and abilities. Whether you are looking for a leisurely stroll, active cycle ride or more challenging walk, there is something for everyone. Cyclists are welcome to bring along there own bikes.<\/p>\n<p>A 30-minute walk (just over a mile) takes you to the dam, which makes a nice there-and-back route. For a more substantial walk, you can walk the entire perimeter of the lake. Spend about 3 hours on &#8216;The Lakeside Round Walk&#8217; &#8211; 9 miles (14.5km). Both start from the on-site caf\u00e9 car park. Again, to help preserve and encourage the presence of varied species of wildlife here, dogs must be kept on leads.<\/p>\n\t<div class=\"carousel-outer-container kad-wp-gallery kad-animation\"

class=\"nVcaUb\">Bird Watching and Wildlife<\/h2>\n<p>Regular volunteers assist the dedicated site team in maintaining the Wimbleball area for the benefit of indigenous wildlife. Hedge laying, coppicing and meadow management benefit red deer, hedgehogs, bats and kestrel. Other common birds you will be likely to see include Canada Geese and Mallard.\u00a0The best areas for bird watching are Ruggs Bay, located within the nature reserve. Other wildlife includes weasels and hedgehogs, Plants abundant here are bluebells, bugle and red campion.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Wimbleball Lake Fishing<\/h2>\n<p>Fishing is for Rainbow and Brown Trout at this fly fishery. There are many bays and inlets to explore across the 370 acres of water. There are great hatches of flies throughout the season providing fantastic sport both subsurface and on top of the water.\u00a0 There is also a mayfly hatch in the summer which is a spectacle! For more information please go to<a href=\"http:\/\/swlakesfishing.co.uk\/\"> www.swlakesfishing.co.uk<\/a>\u00a0or visit the permit kiosk at the activity centre.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"brs_col\">\n<h2>Bringing Dogs to Wimbleball Lake<\/h2>\n<p>Dogs are welcome but must be kept on leads and out of the water. There is an enclosed dog exercise area just above the sailing club, and dog washing facilities are available at the campsite. If you are up for the challenge, dogs are in fact allowed on the kayaks and canoes, as long as they do not enter the water&#8230; good luck!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"brs_col\">\n<h2 class=\"nVcaUb\">Swimming in Wimbleball Lake<\/h2>\n<p>Sadly, swimming in the lake is not permitted, for health and safety reasons. However, there is restricted access for registered athletes and periodically open water swimming events are held in the lake.
