This reservoir in St. Peter and St. Ouen is the island's second biggest after Queen's Valley. It’s open to the public and the picturesque 2.8 mile (4.5km) route around the reservoir is popular with walkers.

If you look out across the water you may see bubbling in some areas. This is underwater machinery creating the bubbles to mix the water and improve quality. A range of wild life can be spotted at Val de la Mare. Nest boxes have been put up to encourage owls.
