Built in 1955 Sutton Bingham reservoir is managed by Wessex Water. It's a popular fishing and walking destination and a pretty spot for a stop off while riding around central Dorset.
There is a public toilet and bike racks in the car park.

Hiking

Set in the rolling hills of the Somerset and Dorset border. There are lots of pretty wildflowers and great views across the lovely blue waters, which attract a wide variety of butterflies such as Small Skipper and Marble White.

A mix of asphalt and loose gravel roads with rolling hills lead to this POI. A little further on heading to Coker there is a small village cafe to have a pit stop.
