Nestling in a valley close to Penryn, Argal offers a great opportunity for a peaceful day in the countryside. Surrounded by sloping fields it is overlooked by the picturesque Mabe Church.
The lake is noted for its wildlife and beautiful walks, there is a circular walk of about two miles (stout footwear is recommended) which passes through woods and meadows.
With several picnic and barbeque areas and excellent views across the water, Argal is ideal for a family afternoon out. The rustic children's play area has special provision for younger children and there is plenty of space for informal games. An ice-cream van visits during the summer and there are toilets on site suitable for disabled visitors.
Argal is a well-stocked coarse fishery with permits available from the self service unit in the barn at the lake.
Dogs are most welcome however it is requested that they are kept on leads and are not permitted into the play area.
The adjacent College Reservoir is managed as a nature reserve, therefore there is no public access.
