The park was developed on the site of former sand and gravel quarries that were flooded to create the current lake system.
The Blue Lagoon beach utilizes imported sand to create a seaside-style environment in an inland location.
The site hosts a range of wildlife, including various species of waterfowl that inhabit the lake and surrounding reeds.
The water quality is regularly monitored to facilitate safe open-water swimming and paddle-based water sports.
The park borders the Ashby Canal, a historic waterway that allows for further local walking and cycling routes.
Bosworth Water Trust is a 50-acre leisure park situated in the Leicestershire countryside, featuring an expansive inland lake created from former gravel pits. The site serves as a multi-purpose outdoor destination offering private fishing, sailing, and a dedicated 'Blue Lagoon' beach area. Visitors can engage in open-water swimming, paddleboarding, and kayaking within designated zones. The park includes a miniature golf course, multiple children's play areas, and pirate-themed adventure zones. On-site accommodation options range from camping and caravanning pitches to lakeside lodges. It is located in close proximity to the historic site of the 1485 Battle of Bosworth. The infrastructure includes internal footpaths circling the main lake and various picnic amenities for day visitors.
The wooden jetty overlooking the Blue Lagoon beach provides the clearest panoramic view of the main lake.
Book water sports equipment and beach access in advance during peak summer weekends to ensure availability.
Bring sturdy footwear if planning to walk the full perimeter of the lake, as paths can be uneven.
Check the official website for specific water safety flags before entering the lake.
Do not attempt to swim in areas marked as 'no swimming' or near the fishing banks, as these zones are strictly separated for safety and conservation.
The park operates primarily as a seasonal destination with full facilities active from spring through early autumn; certain water activities may be suspended during winter.
Proper swimming attire is required for the beach and water areas; dogs must be kept on a lead at all times.
