Pitsford Water
Nestled in rolling rural Northamptonshire, Pitsford Water offers something for everyone. A lovely blend of woodland, meadow and grassland, there are stunning views over the water, making it a great setting for walking, cycling, fishing, sailing, watersports and birdwatching.
And with a well-marked, hard-surfaced seven-mile waterside track, you’ll have a great day out whatever your ability. In partnership with Brixworth Country Park, just a stone’s throw away, we’re the ideal spot for a leisurely stroll, a picnic, or a family day out.
Where to Eat
A small selection of snacks and drinks are available from the Pitsford Water Fishing Lodge.
If you’re looking for something more comprehensive, try The Willow Tree Café at the nearby Brixworth Country Park. With a licensed bar and a wide range of hot and cold snacks and refreshments on offer, it’s the perfect place to take a break.
Visit the Willow Tree Café or call 01604 889343 to find out more.
