The Kings Mill Reservoir site covers an area of 31.8ha, including the reservoir and adjacent marshy and grassland fringes.

Wider opportunities at the site include:
• Angling,
• Model boat sailing,
• Walking, cycling and a picnic area
• Bird watching
• Café which offers refreshments and information for visitors during the day
The Mill Waters Reservoir site is working towards securing the Green Flag Award in 2023 and is well used by local residents, schools, groups and organisations for informal recreation.
The Mill Adventure Base is creating a public offer over the next 6 months including adding a zipline, high ropes trail system and expanding the overnight camping options.

The purpose of this soft market testing is to engage with the market to determine the level of interest in this venture and obtain market-led feed-back so as we can set out our tender strategy and specification that provides the best solution for both parties.
