An excellent little walk with children’s play equipment scattered around. Really enjoyed our afternoon here with a 10 year old, 4 year old and the dog. Not tried any water activities but after seeing them today, we definitely will plan to do so in the future

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.
Loved our day at Alderford. Did the water park course and it was great, and the water was warm and clean!
“First time we’d visited Alderford. We were a big party & every thing was lovely. Staff polite & Food excellent 👍 “
Our first visit. Very impressed with the cafe, farm shop, and facilities round the lake. A family could easily spend a whole day there, and many obviously were!
A lovely easy walk round the lake which will be equally nice whatever the season.
