Stocks Reservoir cafe is the ideal place to start or finish the spectacular Stocks Reservoir circular walk and is even better as a place to take a mid walk break.

The views from our outdoor seating area looking north across the reservoir to Gisburn Forest are truly breathtaking.

If you are interested in wildlife a visit is a must, in spring and autumn you might see an Osprey hunting as it takes a break on its migration from Africa to nest in Scotland. At any time of the year the reservoir attracts a wide range of waders and there is always the chance of sighting one of the Bowland Hen Harriers. Our bird feeding station close to the cafe is always a hive of activity.
