Ringo Rides
Always a favourite amongst kids and adults alike, take to the water either one at a time, or several of you all at once – either way this is absolutely brilliant fun. See how long you can stay in your rubber ring being whizzed along behind a boat – we can be as gentle or as crazy as you like, but we find the faster you go the more fun there is to be had!

| Multi – 2 laps (up to 3 people) | £16.00 (per person) |

Kayaks
If you want some time on the water but are after a more gentle option, then hire one of our kayaks and take yourself off around the lake.
