South West Lakes Trust: About the Trust

A warm welcome to the Lakes of the South West. We hope you find all the information you are looking for and visit one of our Lakes soon.

Established in April 2000, South West Lakes Trust is the South West's largest conservation and recreation charity. It was created to encourage, promote and enhance sustainable recreation, access, nature conservation and education on and around over 50 inland waters in the South West for the benefit of all.

At the lakes of the South West you have an unrivalled choice of water based activities, angling, relaxation and wildlife, walking and cycling. The Lakes are places where you can learn to sail, spend a day trout angling or exploring the vast number of footpaths the area has to offer.

We invite you to visit the Lakes which offer some of the best kept scenery and wildlife in the region along with superb tea-rooms and visitor centres. Enjoy visiting our website, we look forward to welcoming you to one or more of our lakes soon.
