Tristan Alex and Lukas were at Shearwater at the end of September, erecting a post-and-3 rail fence along the newly constructed spillway,  a great job!

From WIKI: “Shearwater is a man-made freshwater lake near Crockerton village, just southwest of Warminster.  The lake is formed from a tributary of the River Wylye.

It is within the Longleat Estate and is one of five lakes of various sizes. Shearwater Lake, the largest, was created at the end of the 18th century and designed by the 3rd Duke of Bridgwater, Francis Egerton. It is fed by streams dammed by the then Marquis of Bath. The lake is surrounded by mature woodland and is popular with anglers, walkers (especially those with dogs), runners, and cyclists.

The café on Shearwater Lake was officially reopened by Lord Bath in July 2025, marking its transformation into Shearwater Cabin. The café has undergone refurbishment, alongside essential reservoir safety work”.
