Description:The inside of the leaflet includes more details on the attractions. You could enjoy much of the "seaside experience" for just a few pence without having to make the long journey. You could go across the reservoir by boat or steamer, perhaps catching a glimpse of the shoals of small fish which the anglers on the bank were attempting to catch. If the cold water didn't bother you to much you could bathe as well, or perhaps paddle just off the pebble beach. All this for just 1d per day.
