Pleasant and enjoyable ride whilst taking in the sights. Early morning is best time to avoid pedestrians, walkers exercising around the lake and people walking their dogs.

The motorway right besides is quite noise, which disturbs the experience considerably. Also the part closer to the national bowl is a bit shabby. For the rest quite green pseudo-nature, but relaxing by bike.

Great place to run with a mixture of path types some super fast (MK Redways) and some smaller paths. Lots of places to stop to eat, buy food and art installations.

These unique, man-made lakes, formed by the extraction of clay for the nearby potteries, have become a haven for wildlife and make a pleasant passage on your bike
