The lakes nestle in a valley (oddly named Bradshaw Bottoms) in a natural woodland setting. There is a river, Bradshaw Brook, that flows through the valley, on which Bradshaw's have fishing rights. Adjoining the fishery land is Jumbles Country Park which is very popular with ramblers and nature lovers. Access to the park can be gained via the fishery path system, linking lakes, wetlands, and woodland, with paths to certain points of special significance within the Country Park.
