College Lake is one of the Berks, Bucks & Oxon Wildlife Trust's flagship nature reserves. This thriving nature reserve supports more than 1,000 different wildlife species. The venue is ideal for a Naked Heart Walk as it is a circular self-guided walk on a gentle footpath with way markers. There is a shop, ample parking and toilets. These walks are clothing optional and you are welcome to complete the walk by yourself or join with others. There are three walks to choose from:
“Time Trail”: 1 ¾ mile which takes you through the geology and history of the Lake
“Bird Trail”: ¾ mile past five bird hides with different views of the lake
“Wild Trail”: a full 2 miles to circumnavigate the Lake (allow 1 hr).
You are welcome to bring binoculars and cameras, but no photographs of people without their explicit consent.
Due to its popularity, and as a special concession to us, the venue will close early to the public but we must not arrive in the car park before 5:15pm. You are welcome to get undressed in the car park but valuables are left at our own risk. Registration starts at 5:30pm. The shop will remain open until 7.30pm but the site must be cleared by 8pm (when it gets dark). There is a local pub a few minutes’ drive away if you arrive early or as a venue for afterwards.
Tickets are limited to a maximum of 50 attendees, so early booking is recommended.
The tickets prices: with options for British Heart Foundation (BHF)
£15 with an attempt to raise funds for BHF
£25 to include a donation for BHF
£35 to include a larger donation to BHF
Notes:
Two motorized mobility vehicles “trampers” are available, but you need to check and reserve one direct with collegelake@bbowt.org.uk saying you are attending the NHW.
The shop will be open until 7.30pm where you can buy cold drinks and snacks.
You can bring your own food onto the site.
Due to the wildlife on site: no dogs are allowed except assistance dogs.
