Pay a visit to Severn Trent’s Draycote Water and discover what other attractions can be found in the Staffordshire region for all the family to enjoy. 

Draycote Water is a 240-hectare reservoir and country park that has an array of activities and attractions for all the family to enjoy. 

The site has walking routes, is a haven for wildlife and perfect for twitchers looking for a bit of birdwatching, plus a range of watersports are available at Draycote Water Sailing Club. 

But those looking to take in Draycote and see what else the region has to offer are in for a treat with plenty of attractions to enjoy. 

Warwickshire not only boasts Draycote Water, but also Severn Trent’s Shustoke Water.  

There is also plenty more on offer as well including Draycote Village which you can walk to from the visitor site, nearby Warwick and all it has to offer, Hill Close Garden, which has been supported by the Severn Trent Community Fund, museums, gardens, parks and much more for everyone to explore. 

Donna Marshall, Visitor Engagement Manager at Severn Trent, said: “Draycote Water is a place for everyone to enjoy, whether that’s a family looking for a day out, wildlife enthusiasts or those looking for a bit of exercise and some fresh air. 

“But there are a whole host of other attractions throughout Warwickshire and surrounding areas, including more Severn Trent visitor sites, so now is the chance to get exploring, explore the great outdoors and see what is on offer.” 

Draycote Water was built back in 1969 and is the biggest body of water in Warwickshire. The depth of the reservoir is a cool 20m or 70ft deep, which is roughly as tall as 5 double decker buses. 

There is a flat five-mile tarmac pavement around the reservoir (dogs are not allowed on the reservoir trail). Our dog friendly 24-acre country park provides plenty of space to play games and enjoy the outdoors. 

The Hensborough Hill top provides spectacular views and is a great place for a picnic and Draycote is also perfect for cycling and twitchers looking for a bit of birdwatching.
