Lakeside trail complete with swans and ducks

Fairy Lake in Southampton is located right in the community's core, offering a pleasant respite from a bustling tourist community in the middle of summer. A frothy fountain splashes in the centre of the lake while a nature trail wraps itself around its perimeter.

Swans, ducks and geese can be fed, the corn available at the dispensing machines along the lake's edge (avoid using bread crusts as it is unhealthy for the waterfowl). On sunny days, snapping turtles congregate on their favourite log to soak up some sunshine. Keep an eye for them while walking the trail.

Huge carp can be spotted swimming just beneath the water's surface.
