Great place for a stroll around the lake. If you're lucky, you may even get to see some wildlife. We got to see a Beaver who appeared to be camera shy. Shame the weather wasn't great today, can imagine it's even nicer in the sun. Dog friendly needs better signs for ev characters Beautiful place to visit and have a leisurely walk. Seating dotted around so you can sit and take in the view of the lake. Not a long around it but paths heading off in different directions. It’s really lovely and worth a visit The view + the weather = no words Don’t miss out. You can do hiking for about 6miles around the and you won’t regret it. Be prepared to take food and plenty of water. A very pleasant place to visit. Tucked out of the way with good parking. Well maintained paths all round and strategically placed benches. Very tidy picnic area. A steady for all with no hills to climb. Dog friendly with plenty of litter bins for the dogs presents. Beautiful Place Longlands is on the site of the former Longlands iron ore mine, which first produced ore in 1879 from four pits. West Cumbria haematite was particularly valued because of its high metal content (51% on average at Longlands). However, by 1924 the mines had been abandoned, and in 1939 the mines started to subside, flooding the area to create what is now Longlands Lake. Longlands was aquired by Cumbria County Council in 1980, and through sensitive management is now a haven for of all kinds. The combination of open water, the confluence of the Rivers Ehen and Keekle, herb-rich grassland, gorse scrub and broadleaved woodland invites a broad range of bird species. There is a wide variety of wildflowers, which are at their best in early summer. There is a parking area near the lake, picnic areas, a path which goes round the lake, and a seperate path which goes to the remains of the old forge, then on to Dent Fell. What a lovely spot for a nice easy around a small lake. There are plenty of birds to see and hear. A few duck and a Swan on the to feed, although someone takes a lot of bread down on a regular bases, which is not really that good for the ducks, and tend to fill them up which spoils the experience for the kids. Lots of benches to sit and rest of watch the wildlife. One big complaint!! People DONT CLEAN UP AFTER THERE DOGS and we have had to clean it off the pram wheels and kids boots too many times for our liking!! Loved walking and running around this lake. Reasonably calm and some which was great to see. Lovely short around the lake. Of lead dogs were a concern as our dogs, being rescues, can be reactive to high energy dogs. Beautiful place to visit. Perfect flat, friendly walking path around the and great fun for all the family. There are walks that branch away from the as well and the river is stunning with light shining through trees. Well worth a visit. Lovley little around. Plenty of wildlife. River and Lovely short around this Great around Longland Lake, parking available and plenty of to see, dog friendly, ideal for a lovely walk, not too far, on the flat Website change monitoring Monitor any webpage for changes – get instant email alerts when prices drop, new jobs are posted, products come back in stock, or competitors update their sites.
