Don't be put off by the nerdy idea of a tram museum - this is an award winning day out, with a built-in walk and an amazing reconstruction of a village using 'found' buildings from far and wide.
Traditional stone pub with 4 centuries of pint-pulling behind it. The road used to have a toll booth opposite, in the days of turnpikes.

A fine place to take a break from driving and discover some dog walking magic, with a fine dog-friendly pub as well.

A really popular dog walking and paddling spot where the beach is made of tough grass. Loads of doggie fun!
A choice of car parks, some free the others P&D and a number of trails from wherever you stop. It's a popular weekend outing but there's plenty of space and enough walking to keep everyone happy.
In warm weather the cooling view of these large reservoirs is a charm. There are quite a few footpaths, but the obvious ones by the water are close to sheep or fenced off for people fishing.
