Hawkridge Reservoir View Point

Over looks Hawkridge reservoir where I was fishing. Stunning country side, great fishing.

Great view from the top. Muddy car park. Free of cost though.

Amazing location, so peaceful

We visited this place late on a Sunday afternoon and found it to be quite a quiet and calming place to be.The view of the reservoir is absolutely stunning from the viewpoint and in spite the sign saying no swimming you can't help but think you're just wanna.Fishing is actually allowed on this Reservoir by way of permit and we were actually giggling at one fisherman who was being taunted by fish on the lake as we watched.Just outside the area of the Quantock Hills, this place still gives you the feeling that you are deep within those Hills with its sweeping sides down to the valley in which the reservoir sits.There is enough parking here for about 20 vehicles. I would imagine the overnight camping or stays are not allowed or tolerated but I did not see a sign saying that you can'tThere are plenty of bin provided at this viewpoint so use them and or take your rubbish home

Great lay-by with plenty of spots to set up camp in the van for the night! Phone signal is non existent tho. Cracking view of the weather is good

Lovely location shame you can no longer sit down by it

Beautiful area for fishing, picnics and walks

Beautiful views but no public access to the fenced off waterside is permitted.

This is a lay-by. As lay-bys go, this is a good one with a view of a reservoir. Perhaps even some wildfowl if you're lucky.

Hawkridge Reservoir, lovely quiet park up, nice walk around Reservoir, visit the Lime kiln up the hill. Peaceful & good for bird spotting.
