    The Brent Reservoir, also known as the Welsh Harp, is a wonderful local gem. You can go boating on it, take your children to the nearby playground, go to a nearby shop or cafe, or just enjoy the view. It's worth looking up its history too-you may be surprised! There is wonderful animal and plant life, which makes it perfect for nature walks. However, the reservoir could do with a good clean-up as it is full of litter, and some parts still have lots of traffic noise which can ruin the experience. Besides that, the Welsh Harp is an amazing place and I recommend you visit it to discover it yourself!

    Beautiful, relaxing and peaceful park & reservoir. There are ducks and swans here. Used to come feed them with my grandma on Sundays. Not many people seem to come so it's very good if you need a mental break. There is a boat club with sailing lessons available. There is also a garden centre next to the park. It's a fairly large place so it would make a nice medium distance walk. For cyclists, the forest park does not have a paved path, so keep that in mind. No delicate bicycles. You cannot swim in the reservoir and I would definitely not recommend it. Overall, a lovely somewhat unknown place.

    Covered in green canopy.. full of trees with birds and as a nature lover, it was truly unavoidable spot for a break from city chaos. Beautiful lake with ducks and swans around. Can spot the boat from the club. Nice for cycling and walking around the lake, having a picnic with friends and for bird photography as well. Time well spent with nature.

    I have been here many many times. It is nice place to have a weekend barbecue with your family and friends. Great place for dogs and children to play. Quite relaxing environment specially in weekdays. Sometimes weekends get bit crowded.

    Lovely place to go walking, if you are lucky enough to be able to discover the secret entrance to where the Dam is you can have a great walk around on it, it's not easy to find though ;)

    I am so glad this body of water, formerly called the Welsh Harp, still exists. I grew up in Sudbury Town and my father used to take me, aged 8, rowing on the Welsh Harp. He was badly disabled from polio in his legs but could row a boat brilliantly. I had such fun, and now at 67 the place still remains prominent in my memories.

    (Translated by Google) Relaxing space between vegetation and water, as it has a large lake. A good point to walk and disconnect from the city (Original) Espacio relajante entre vegetaciΓ³n y agua, ya que consta con un gran lago. Un buen punto para caminar y desconectar de la ciudad

    The path to reach there was definitely exquisite filled with mature vegetation. A section of the Welsh Harp has high trees with several benches beneath it, as well as several benches along the walk path facing the water body. A perfect place to just sit & relax!
