The Circuit of Alton Water
You need to log in as a member of Walkingworld to access the details for this walk and have an active subscription. Please join, or log in above if you are already a member.
There are a number of car parks around the route, including one at the Visitor Centre in Stutton. You can have a meal here and there is also a Water Sports Centre. It is also possible to hire a bike to make the circuit of the lake. Many families make this a Sunday outing as the route does not use any public roads, except for a brief and quiet stretch on a bridge across the lake at Tattingstone. On the route you will see what appears to be a church, but it is a house with a tower attached, known as Tattingstone Wonder. You will also have views of the impressive buildings of the Royal Hospital School at Holbrook. The lake itself is man-made and the water is pumped up to it from the River Gipping. The valley of this river too offers some pleasant walking, which we hope to make available in due course through Walkingworld.
