M6 Junction 17 Brereton Heath, Cheshire

Premium

Description

There are a number of trails in this nature reserve west of Congleton, including an easy access trail.   On the day we visited the sun was shining and directly ahead of the car park the lake was glassy smooth – inviting a headlong rush from Jem, and the swift departure of a couple of scowling ducks.

35 min walk round a lake

Ideal length for a circular walk to break the journey. Lovely spot with a hard path, trees and grassy areas. Postcode takes you to the car park.

Woods and water - lovely!

A lovely place to stop off. Parking has gone up as a previous reviewer said: it's now £1.30 for 1 hour or £2.50 for up to three hours.

The pond/lake is very nice. There are swans, ducks and geese on the water and when we went they all had young 'uns so important to keep dogs on leads until you get into the woods.

Lots of trails in the woods, and a few places away from the birds where dogs can get down into the water.

The Little Cow Shed has a coffee and ice cream place on the lake side and, over the road, a place to by bacon baps, sandwiches, etc. All very nice.

Perfect stop - everything you need

Stopped on a journey from Snowdonia to Nottingham.

Sat Nav post code a little short of the entrance but easy to find. Parking only 80p with contactless payment. Toilets right next to the car park entrance.

There are plenty of options to suit all dogs and humans: a flat lakeside path, a woodland walk and an area of heathland.

I don’t use it but there was a handy cafe over the road.

Perfect for a picnic break!

Stopped off en-route from Scotland for a lunchtime walk and picnic. Lovely lakeside/woodland walk (25-30 minute circuit), with benches and picnic tables. Pay to park. Saturday afternoon visit: a fair number of people but not too busy. Visitor centre currently closed because of lockdown but toilets open. (Ice-cream van there too!) Midway between junctions 17 and 18, so off one and back on the other. Would highly recommend!
