"Well worth travelling from Lancashire - the scenery is spectacular and the diversity of wildlife is simply incredible. I'll be recommending Lopwell Dam to all of my friends and family."
David Smith
"A really nice place to visit! Well worth the trip."
Cairns Boston, Chairman of the Board of Trustees
"In today's ever increasingly hectic lifestyles I firmly believe that we need places like Lopwell Dam to help keep us sane at times!"
"This morning, I saw a kingfisher watching a salmon, no doubt eyeing up its next meal. That's very special, and will be something to tell my grandchildren. I urge anyone to come and have a look"
"It's an absolutely fantastic site, and a local treasure. It contains most of the natural habitats and systems found in Devon. You would have to travel over 20 miles between sites to see them elsewhere - if you don't have the time to do that, then come to Lopwell Dam and see them all here within walking distance of each other, in an afternoon."
Ellen Mutcaty
"A Belated thanks for the guidance received whilst enjoying your walk to Bere Ferrers on the 1st of May. It is only after going on other unguided walks that you really appreciate the former. We are now looking forward to future walks."
John and Jenny Harvey

"Thank you for letting us go along the walkway. It was fantastic my friend Emma nearly fell in. When we went to the fresh pond that was class because it had loads of pond skaters. My best bit was the fishing"
