Hello everyone,

We are currently working on improving the path network in Sherwood Lake at the TN2 centre entrance. This involves laying a hard standing surface and replacing the wooden boardwalk along the bottom edge of the dam. We have currently placed the materials necessary in the car park, as far over from any parking bays as possible. Please bear with us over the next week as we finish this job. We hope you are enjoying the lake and woodlands during this summer period.

Thank you.

Join the ramblers for a walk around Sherwood lake and the surrounding woodland, as they explore some of the history of this site.

Good Morning.

Today you may notice contractors working at Sherwood Lake. They are carrying out a water quality improvement project that involves adding calcium carbonate to the lake.

Calcium carbonate is a naturally occurring mineral (commonly found in limestone and chalk). When applied to lakes, it helps balance the water’s chemistry by gently raising alkalinity and stabilizing pH levels. This process can reduce excess nutrients in the water, limit algae growth, and improve overall water clarity and habitat conditions for aquatic life.

The material being used is safe, environmentally friendly, and widely used in lake management projects to support healthier water systems.

We appreciate your patience while this work is taking place and thank you for helping us keep Sherwood Lake healthy and enjoyable for everyone.

Good morning! Please be aware we will be on site until the end of the month extending the current boardwalk towards Bluebell Walk 😀

It's a muddy job - but someone's got to do it!

The session will be led by experienced professionals from Willowbank Generation, alongside staff from KHWP, ensuring a fun, educational, and safe experience for all participants.

The event is free but does require booking.

We recently received news about the great work that one local resident has been doing to help keep Sherwood Lake and Woodland clear of litter.

There has been a lot of empty cans, bottles and other litter that has found its way in and around the waters edge recently. Thank you to this young lad pictured below who has spent his own time making a difference in his local greenspace, clearing up what he could collect on his walk.

If you have any time whilst out on your walk to pick up a few pieces of rubbish, it would not only improve the aesthetics of woodland, but also help to improve the quality of habitat for wildlife as well as the experience for yourself and other users at Sherwood.

Please remember to take your rubbish home with you, or put it in the nearest available bins.
