Draycote Water, Recreational reservoir in Warwickshire, England
Draycote Water spans 240 hectares with a perimeter path of 5 miles, featuring concrete and natural embankments around its shoreline.
The reservoir construction began in 1967 and completed in 1969, opening in 1970 to supply water to Rugby and Coventry regions.
The reservoir area includes multiple recreational clubs dedicated to sailing, fishing, and bird watching activities throughout the seasons.
