Waterbeach Lake

Life by the lake

The beautiful landscape sets Waterbeach apart. From the  23-acre lake to dappled woodlands and wide-open green spaces, nature is woven into the very fabric of this place -enhancing not just the scenery, but the way you live.

Here, everything you need for an exceptional quality of life comes hand in hand with the great outdoors.

 

 

At the heart of Waterbeach lies its breathtaking lake, a sanctuary for wildlife where kingfishers dart across the water and dragonflies flit between reeds. Encircling it, a thoughtfully designed lake loop invites you to take in the views on foot, by bike, or at a gentle jog - whether enjoying a moment of solitude or spending time with friends and four-legged companions.
