Kingsbury Water Park

Kingsbury Water Park is a country park in north Warwickshire, England, not far from Birmingham and lying on the River Tame. It is owned and managed by Warwickshire County Council. It has 15 lakes situated in over 600 acres (2.4 km²) of country park. It is renowned for its birdlife, and is popular with birdwatchers.

Features

Throughout the park are a number of bridleways, marked cycle routes and footpaths.
