Our reservoirs are great places to visit if you love wildlife, enjoy walking or just want some peace and quiet.

We have two reservoirs that are open to the public all year round:

• Ardingly Reservoir in West Sussex

• Arlington Reservoir in East Sussex

These reservoirs provide water to thousands of homes and businesses in the area. They are also havens for wildlife and have been designated Local Nature Reserves.

Ardingly Reservoir

Arlington Reservoir

Ardingly Kingfisher trail

Our Kingfisher trail offers a seven-kilometre scenic walk part-way around the reservoir, taking you from the dam wall, over the causeway and to the north-west tip of the reservoir before retracing your steps to return to the starting point.
