Timeline
15:31
Grab a hot drink or snack from the on-site facilities before the light fades.
16:01
Walk to the edge of the water. The gravel pits offer an unobstructed view toward the southwest.
16:16
Watch the sun dip below the horizon. The golden light peaks just before this moment, painting the water in warm tones.
16:46
Stay for the blue hour. The camping and caravan park is open, so you can sit quietly or take a final stroll as the sky cools.
Local tip
The sun sets toward the SW, so position yourself on the western-facing banks of the lakes for the best view.
Check before you go
- The park is open daily from 09:00 to 21:00. Sunset at 16:16 fits well within these hours.
- Check the route if you are driving from Stamford, as the park is 6 miles east.
