Arlington Reservoir, Protected water reservoir in Arlington, East Sussex, England
Arlington Reservoir extends across 248 acres of land, featuring a dam across the River Cuckmere and a perimeter walking path surrounded by meadows.
The construction of Arlington Reservoir commenced in 1969 to meet increasing water demands, with excavations revealing prehistoric animal remains including mammoth tusks.
The reservoir functions as a scientific research site where University of Brighton students conduct studies on water quality improvement and algae reduction methods.
A three-kilometer circular trail circles the reservoir, providing access to bird watching facilities, a car park, food kiosk, and public restrooms.
The site hosts more than one percent of the United Kingdom's total winter wigeon population and contains diverse fish species including bream, roach, and gudgeon.
