About Farmoor Reservoir
Farmoor Reservoir is a man-made reservoir situated five miles west of Oxford. Split into two lakes, it covers an area of 400 acres in the heart of the Oxfordshire countryside.
Farmoor is surrounded by beautiful countryside with woodland views and the River Thames nearby. Close by, there are three nature reserves; Pinkhill, Shrike and Buckthorne, each offering an array of habitat between them.
There are plenty of activities to do around the reservoir including countryside walks, birdwatching, trout fly-fishing, sailing, and windsurfing. Be sure to read our handy guide Great Days Out: Farmoor Reservoir.
