  1. Thanks Daniel. I don't know the old wildlife park in Churchstoke. Please may I have a map reference?

  2. Hi Steve, of course. The Main lake is at SO 27926 93273. The park used to extend all the way up to the main road but has since closed as the site is now operated by Montgomery Water. However, the lake can still be viewed via a public footpath along the south side of the lake.
