Welcome to Cotswold Country Park & Beach

Cotswold Country Park and Beach is the number one attraction in The Cotswold Water Park.

The Park is open year-round, and offers the largest inland beach in the UK, activities, boat and kayak  hire, cafes and wonderful lakeside walks.

The Park comprises two lakes formed around forty years ago through gravel extraction. The lakes are filled by the natural groundwater, which means they are very clean. In fact, you can usually see the bottom of the lake from the viewing gallery on the Millennium Building!

In the winter, although many of the water based facilities close, the park is still a great place to come for a beautiful lakeside walk and of course, have a hot chocolate afterwards.

If you would like more information on The Country Park, please contact us.
