Description
Roadford Lake sits within the stunning Wolf Valley, near the Cornwall border just minutes off the A30. Operated by swlakestrust.org.uk there are several walks from 1.5km to 4km and whilst dogs are required to be on a lead for most of the walks there is a doggie exercise area where dogs can play off lead. At the main car park there are Toilet Facilities plus a doggie friendly Cafe open 7days/week selling cold/hot food plus (a true test of doggie friendliness) - it even has a doggie paw wash!
