Bewl Valley

Lots of boats on the water - come and see for yourself.

Originally posted by iGRF Well it's been an ill wind for us, we have picked up a couple of new members as a result of the demise of Bewl. All the talk locally is of it becoming one of those retirement bungalow parks, so i guess a little sailing wouldn't go amiss for the new tenants and it's entirely in keeping with the demographic.

The concession that boats can go sailing on an inland lake without being accompanied by a flotilla of RIBs is progress indeed.
