Recreation
We offer a variety of recreational activities at our sites, in particular at Blithfield and Chelmarsh reservoirs, with developments currently going on at Blithfield to increase public access to the area.
Blithfield offers excellent fly-fishing and is home to Blithfield Anglers – with fishing available either through annual membership, or on purchase of a guest day ticket. Members of the Blithfield Sailing Club are regularly to be seen out on the water, while the area is also a popular venue for permit holders from the West Midlands Bird Club, which highlights the area’s Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) status.
Car parking, permissive walkways, including sections allowing for wheelchair access and a boardwalk across wetlands, have recently been laid in woodland to the north of the reservoir, in order to open the area up to the public. Work continues to open further walks in the near future.
At Chelmarsh, coarse fishing, sailing, bird watching and walking are all popular activities, while Crumpwood offers bird watching and both fly and coarse fishing.
