This is a little sanctuary hidden under our noses along Princes Road that can be accessed at various places including a tunnel from Dartford Park. Here is a taste of the very beautiful Brooklands Lake and its wildlife. If you find a nice spot to sit and pause without requiring much patience you will see some wonderful wildlife. Bringing frozen peas is recommended to feed the birds and coming early in the morning since it gets very busy. The coots make their nests in hard to reach places! The swans are especially lovely because they are quite at home in the presence of people. They are very docile as long as you treat them with respect. If you look carefully you might find the terrapins. They are a little bit further round from the old Home Base side. The lake is popular for carpe fishing which looks a wonderful way to enjoy the lake tranquility. DDAPS Brooklands lake map
