Grafham Water, Water reservoir and nature reserve in Huntingdonshire, England.

The 806-hectare Grafham Water features a 16-kilometer circumference walking path surrounding the water body, reaching depths of 21 meters.

Construction of the reservoir began in 1965 with an earth and concrete dam, establishing it as England's eighth largest reservoir by volume.

The reservoir supports environmental education through its nature reserve, managed by the Wildlife Trust for local conservation efforts.

Visitors can access multiple parking areas, bike rentals, cafes, and bird observation points while exploring the reservoir's extensive trail network.

The water body serves as a habitat for great crested grebes, tufted ducks, and contains the first recorded population of killer shrimp in the UK.
