          Just to add a bit of trivia “It’s a beautiful lake. It’s fresh water that comes from the Chilterns – it takes three or four months to filter through the water table.”The reason it’s blue is the chalk particles reflect the light.” they are going to use it for water sports and fishing:smile:
