Spring has finally sprung and Bewl Water, one of the South East’s top visitor attractions, opens for the 2010 season on Easter weekend with a host of new activities to delight the whole family.

With one of the coldest winters on record now behind us, families can emerge from their homes and enjoy a great day out at Bewl Water with many new things on offer as well as the attraction’s already popular activities.

For the active and thrill-seekers, visitors can not only experience the High Adrenalin Zone zip wires, power fan and 3G swing, but also get a feel for what it’s like to walk on water while safely cocooned within a giant inflatable sphere, known as a hydroball.

Activities guaranteed to keep the kids amused for hours, whether being looked after by mum, dad or the grandparents, include a remote controlled model boating lake and the recently expanded children’s fishing pond, where junior anglers can, under supervision, enjoy the excitement of landing their first catch.

Howard MacKenzie, Estate Manager at Bewl Water, said: “The new activities mean that Bewl Water is the place to be this Easter whether visitors live in Kent, East Sussex or South East London which is less than an hour away by car.  

“Bewl has something for the entire family, from relaxing walks to the more high-adrenalin pursuits and all against the backdrop of the largest inland piece of water in the South East. More than anything else, Bewl encourages everyone to get outdoors and be active as a family.”

The entertainment team will also be on hand over the Easter weekend to add to the fun and games, accompanied by the Bewl Mascots, including Bertie the Beaver, Thomas the Toad, Basil the Badger and Morris the Mole. The latest attractions run alongside existing favourites such as fly-fishing, water sports and boat trips, as well as the 12.5 miles of walks in the Wealden countryside.

Howard MacKenzie, added: “Easter looks set to be an exciting one this year at Bewl. Not only have we invested in new activities, we will also be opening The Galley, a brand new restaurant which, under new management, will significantly broaden our food and drink offering.

“The transformation of Bewl Water takes another exciting step forward in May with the opening of the Waterside Bistro, offering lakeside views and dinner in the evenings with an emphasis on fresh local produce.”

The ‘Bewl Water Round Reservoir Route’ track, which is popular with walkers, cyclists and horse riders will fully reopen the first week of April to coincide with Easter weekend.

Bewl Water, which straddles the Kent and East Sussex border and is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is also a member of the ‘Seven Wonders of the Weald’ tourism initiative, which brings together a number of visitor attractions all within 15 minutes drive of each other.

Bewl Water is open daily from 10am until sunset, and entry is £4 for adults, senior citizens and children over 3 years, and there are small charges to use some of the larger activities. For more information about the many activities that Bewl Water has to offer visit www.bewl.co.uk.
