Ardingly Reservoir

Ardingly Reservoir is a scenic, year-round spot that offers a peaceful escape by the water. You'll find a lovely mix of landscapes to explore, from open grassy areas and pebbled beach spots to sheltered woodland edges. The well-maintained gravel paths help keep paws (and shoes) relatively clean, though there's always a bit of mud for those who like a splash. Whether you're after a short 1 to 2 km stroll or a longer 4 to 7 km circular loop, the reservoir provides a calm and refreshing setting to enjoy the Sussex countryside with your pup.

Stick to the gravel paths if it's been wet, but if your pup loves a splash, head down to the water's edge for a bit of beach fun.
