Reviews of Burrator Reservoir
"Beautiful area to walk around, the dam itself is also stunning. Walk on the west side of the Reservoir a few 100 meters up the road and you'll find a nice waterfall."
"We went at the end of December after a lot of rain during the night. There was a lot of water on some of the paths - it's what you'd expect - but aside from slightly soggy shoes from some places, the paths were clean down to the bottom of the dam and we were treated to a thunderous cascade."
"Beautiful shady walk round the lake. Followed the shore and then on to lane... All round the reservoir. Very helpful SW Lakes Trust gentleman at the Discovery centre gave us lots of info."
"Hey there everyone, well off we went for a small mellow loop around Burrator Reservoir. A tad busy today but still mainly quite. As normal Dartmoor and the surrounding areas are fantastic and Burrator is no different. If you want a mellow walk this is a great start."
