A hazy afternoon at Blithfield Reservoir

Last week the weather in Alton was wonderfully warm and sunny! We took a couple of hours off to enjoy the sunshine and went for a ride out to Blithfield Reservoir. Located in the countryside between the towns of Uttoxeter and Rugely the reservoir is a lovely place to relax.

Here a a few photo's that we took. As you can see the mixture of sunshine and water made for a very hazy (I did mean hazy not lazy!) afternoon.

MALT TIP: If you plan to visit the reservoir choose a day when the weather is pleasant.

Good weather = an ice cream van at Blithfield!



Parking at the reservoir is free. There are walks to enjoy and plenty of wildlife to watch. Or you can just park up your vehicle and enjoy the beautiful scenery.
