The Mere is the largest of the glacial meres around Ellesmere and is a haven for both watersports and wildlife. Paddleboarding and kayaking are popular here, as well as walking around the landscaped gardens and woodland paths. The visitor centre has facilities, parking, and picnic spots, making it a family-friendly destination. With swans, herons, and other birdlife in abundance, it's as much about enjoying nature as it is about time on the water.
