The lakes are constantly patrolled by our own bailiffs and the owner of the lakes for everyone’s safety and security.

The lakes are fed by various streams constantly running all year round, the lakes were originally several streams and then dug out into two separate stream fed lakes, this was done by Henry the 8th and his merry men, these then feed one of the finest rivers known as the river Eden once water leaves the lakes.
