The lakes are feeder reservoirs for the Stratford upon Avon canal and were built in the 1820s. From the early 20th century they became a popular beauty spot for day trippers from Birmingham to visit, and they have their own station on the Birmingham to Stratford railway line. Fishing, sailing and walking are all popular activities. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earlswood_Lakes
