Weir Wood Reservoir, Reservoir and scientific site in East Sussex, England
Located west of Forest Row, Weir Wood Reservoir extends across 379 acres of water bodies, meadows, woodland areas, and diverse ecological zones.
The reservoir emerged in 1954 and received its designation as a Site of Special Scientific Interest in 1966 due to increasing wildlife populations.
The reservoir functions as a center for water activities including sailing, paddleboarding, kayaking, and open water swimming throughout the recreational seasons.
Visitors can access the reservoir through Legsheath Lane off the A22, with parking facilities and a bird hide available for wildlife observation.
Iron streams and slag heaps near the reservoir provide evidence of the historical iron industry that operated in this region.
