Bewl Water, Reservoir in Kent, England
The 800-acre Bewl Water stretches across the border of Kent and East Sussex, forming the largest inland water body in Southeast England.
The construction of Bewl Water began in 1973 through the damming of the River Bewl valley, completing in 1975 at a cost of £11 million.
The reservoir functions as a regional outdoor center where visitors participate in sailing, windsurfing, rowing, canoeing, kayaking, and fishing activities throughout the year.
The facility operates daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM with a parking fee of £7, and visitors can access amenities at the Waterfront Cafe.
During winter months, when the River Medway flow exceeds 275 million liters daily, water gets pumped into the reservoir for storage purposes.
