Escape Islands

'Fantastic place to visit! Hands down! The hire of boats etc is a bit pricey, but once in the water, it’s a great place to teach younger kids how to row in a canoe or kayak, food on site (chips, burgers etc) as well as cheeky lakeside drinks. The water was lovely and clean, enough to ‘fall out the boat’ and have a good swim! People who go regularly were lovely and happy to talk to new people and speak highly of this place. Would strongly recommend and cannot wait for our next trip!'

Loved our day at Alderford. Did the water park course and it was great, and the water was warm and clean!

“Superb day out, the facilities are fantastic and my family thoroughly enjoyed all the activities they took part in. We will definitely be visiting again.”

After recent storm damage to our little school, we can't thank Rob, Alice and the whole of the team at Alderford Lake enough. Our children struggle with change due to their individual needs and a need for structure, routine and predictability, so thank you all for allowing us to base ourselves on site this week and next week, and for allowing us to deliver an outdoor learning curriculum at Alderford, without questions or hesitation. We have been welcomed and accommodated, and we're humbled by your kindness, during such an unexpected situation to find ourselves in. Alderford is a true example of community inclusion and partnership working and we are grateful for the generosity being shown to us. We highly recommend a visit. The wildlife is wonderful, the cafe is so accommodating and the people are so kind and helpful.
