Take a look at 15 of the most gorgeous and tranquil lakes and some waterparks to visit while the weather stays warm.

9. Preston Guild Wheel
The Guild Wheel is a 21-mile walking and cycling route, encircling Preston and providing a link from the city to the countryside. The Wheel is a great way to make the most of the many forms of landscapes that make this city what it is - by rambling river and canal sides to ancient woodland, city centre parkland, historic docklands and attractive nature reserves.
