Bigger than it looks!

Thornton reservoir has two car parks. It takes about an hour to walk round, and this includes a bit of road walking, for about 5 minutes. I have given it 4 stars for this reason, as I have a traffic reactive dog, so we can’t do the full circuit. There are opportunities to leave the main path to enter woodland and fields . There is a very small kiosk for emergency chocolate bars and crisps, also the toilets are here. It can get very busy, with kiddies on bikes, and pushchairs, but if you choose the right time it’s a beautiful walk.
