Don't have a wasted journey to Siblyback Lake

South West Lakes Trust who manage Siblyback Lake, have taken the bizarre decision to close the Outdoor and Active Centre and the Campsite for the 2019 season.

The lake path, cafe, fishing and play area are still available as in previous years. Many accommodation providers have web pages with details about the watersports at Siblyback and it will take time for them to update their websites to take account of the closure.
