Thanks for the coordinates MartinR

Not Moat Park - this lake is quite a bit smaller.

I'll take a punt at Mote Park.
Capstone Country lake is centred upon:

Sticking to Stewie's lake theme  ;D  - where is this?


Wide angle lens makes it look bigger than it is.

Thanks Stewie,  I went to see the ski slope many years ago but wasn't aware of the lake and country park.  Must look in next time I'm in the area.


Next one up soon.

Capstone Country Park?    Wasn't sure if your turn right clue was as you were leaving The Inn on the Lake or as we see it on a map?

We're in danger of going past now grandarog, turn right along the A2 and look for a castle, the lake is about 3.5 miles from that.

Is it the Lake behind "The Inn on the Lake" on the A2 at  Shorne ?

Not there John Walker but you are heading roughly in the right direction. The lake in the picture is not  a naturally occurring one being created and opened in the early 1990s.

Not Turkey Mill John Walker but you are closer than both your initial guess and also that also MartinR's. Grandarog you are heading in the wrong direction from MartinR's guess.
