The Cotswold Water Park (CWP) lies in 40 square miles of farmland and wetland between Cirencester, Swindon and Lechlade.
To date 145 lakes have been flooded (April 2006) and this is set to increase over 50 years, creating other wetland habitats.
CWP holds nationally important numbers of wintering waterbird, e.g. Smew, Great Crested Grebe, Gadwall, Coot and Pochard. In Spring and Summer visitors can hear Nightingales or see flocks of Hobby’s migrating through.
The best (and really the only) place to view CWP 74 is from what has become known as twitchers gate. If you download the map of the Western part of CWP you will see a small road that goes from Fridays Ham Lane to Cerney Wick.
There is fence about 400 yards along that road overlooking the lake. A good spot for waterfowl terns and gulls at the right time of the year.
