Bucklands Pool/Backwell Lake

Our verdict

A twenty-minute lake lap for buggies, wheelchairs and elderly spaniels. Not wild, but reliably pleasant — the Nailsea evening constitutional.

A balancing lake between Nailsea and Backwell that grew into a proper local nature reserve — a flat gravel circuit, swans, and rattling reed warblers in spring.
