Unfortunately the Hanningfield reservoir does not allow dogs, but the area itself is outstanding. Lots of wind in the willow themed wooden statues and plenty of scenery. The visitor centre is quite small, so if you want food aim for a 15-20 min wait when it’s busy.
Lovely easy walk on a wet Sunday morning. Walked a bit further than needed as very easy going and wanted to look in the visitor centre. Along the route there are various Wind in the Willows character sculptures, which as it turns out is a great trail for youngsters. Would definitely bring the grandchild back with us for a little adventure. Visitor centre and cafe is spacious and the coffee and cake is reasonably priced.
