We went for a family walk at Horseshoe Lake in Sandhurst. We did a whole loop of the lake, which is 1.2 miles.

Where did we walk?
From the free car park (details at the end of this post) we went left to meet up with the footpath (walking away from Horseshoe Lake Activity Centre to begin with). We then followed the path which had the River Blackwater on our left and Horseshoe Lake could be seen through the trees to the right.
We followed the path and joined a narrower footpath which took us around Horseshoe Lake. At this point you could have gone left and continued following the River Blackwater.
The path is flat all the way around the lake. The path is quite narrow in places with fences either side.
We also took food to feed the birds and found plenty near the activity centre.
We haven’t done it yet, but you can link your walk around Horseshoe Lake to Finchampstead Ridges and Simon’s Wood in Finchampstead.
Is the walk dog and buggy friendly?
The walk is dog friendly.
You could do the walk with a buggy because as it is flat all the way around, an off-road buggy would be best. The paths were dry when we walked them in April and July but I have heard they are muddy during the winter.
What facilities are there?
There is Horseshoe Lake Activity Centre, click here to have a look what they offer.
There is also Lake View Italian Cafe which has a cafe and seating plus there is a takeaway hatch. There is also Francesca’s Gelato Bar which is a hatch serving ice cream.
There are also toilets at the Actvitiy Centre.
Where can I park?
You can park for free at Horseshoe Lake, the car park is not massive. The address for the car park is Horseshoe Lake, Sandhurst, GU47 8JW. What3Words: terms.bother.dent
If you enjoy your walk along The River Blackwater during this walk, also have a look at ‘Walking at Shepherd Meadows and River Blackwater, Sandhurst’ for another great family friendly walk.
