St Stithians Lake Beach

Highlight • Beach

Tranquil place to stop for a drink and something to eat. Watching over the calm waters of St Stithians Lake with lush Cornish farmland in the background.

Tip by

1.10 km

The walk around the lake is pleasant. Despite heavy rain, the paths were not particularly boggy. The low level of the lake meant that we could see the remains of old stone walls that had been previously submerged

Stithians Reservoir Dam

Highlight • Monument

The Stithians Reservoir is a man-made, dammed reservoir dating back to 1962, with construction being completed in five years. The valley behind the dam was flooded, including 274 acres of land and three country houses.

On a good day, taking the paths around Stithians Reservoir can often offer plenty to watch, whether that's sailing, windsurfing, kayaking, SUP and canoeing activities on the lake from the watersports centre, or plenty of bird watching and fly fishing to be enjoyed.
