A Great Lake, with lots of walking available around the lake and the surrounding longleat forest. Worth a visit and if your at longleat or Center Packs a must.

This is such a tranquil, relaxing place. Good for walks by the lake and in the woods and watching the world go by.

Plenty of parking, good system of an honesty box to encourage people to pay for the space without having to charge an entry fee. Fishing is quite expensive in my opinion, but the lake itself and the beautiful walks around it really are quite special. I visited shearwater Christmas Day with my partner and dogs and we had a wonderful time enjoying the scenery, we’ve been back since and enjoyed it just as much! Highly recommend for fresh air and/or walking with or without dogs!

Was lovely to go back and visit Shearwater Lake. I lived in lower Shute cottage just up the road as a child. Great for dog walking and the Tearooms was delightful. I remember when it before center parcs was built. If you walk through the woods you get to their boundary fences!

I have been visiting this lake for many years..It is ideal for walks , picnics or just relaxing in wonderful peaceful surroundings, where you can watch grebe and many other waterfowl and fish leaping.
However in the last year the tearoom, under new ownership, has made our visits even more enjoyable. There is an excellent selection of cakes, scones and gluten free options available. Breakfasts and light lunches are served as well as Ice creams in a number of varieties,which we highly recommend. Extremely helpful staff make this an excellent place to visit.
