Otterhead Lakes

Situated on the Blackdown Hills, south of Taunton and one mile north of the village of Churchinford the two lakes at Otterhead once formed part of a landscaped estate.
The surroundings have now run wild and provide a beautiful setting in which to fish or walk. It is now a nature reserve managed by the Otterhead Estate Trust Company Limited on behalf of Wessex Water.

Fishing
Otterhead fishery is leased to Taunton Fly Fishing Club. For further information contact club secretary John Connolly on 01823 274272.
Walking
The beautiful setting of the lakes makes it ideal for a gentle stroll. A trail leads from the car park near the lodge through the reserve which has an excellent variety of woodland, river and open water habitats. Walkers are advised to take care as the trail is marshy, narrow and steep in places.
Limited car parking is available at the entrance to Otterhead. The picnic area by the upper lake offers quiet views of the water.
