Robertsmere Lake is a picturesque freshwater body located in Sussex, England. Spanning an area of approximately 10 acres, it is often referred to as a lake, pool, pond, or freshwater marsh due to its diverse characteristics. The lake is situated amidst lush greenery and is surrounded by a mix of deciduous and coniferous trees, adding to its serene ambiance.

With its crystal-clear waters, Robertsmere Lake serves as a habitat for a wide variety of aquatic flora and fauna. The lake's water is primarily sourced from rainfall and natural springs, resulting in a consistently high water quality. This makes it an ideal environment for numerous species of fish, including perch, roach, and pike, which attract fishing enthusiasts throughout the year.

The lake's shoreline is rich in vegetation, featuring reeds, rushes, and water lilies, providing shelter and nesting grounds for many bird species. Visitors can often spot ducks, swans, herons, and kingfishers gracefully gliding across the water or perched on the branches of overhanging trees.

It offers a peaceful setting for leisurely walks, picnics, and birdwatching. The lake's surrounding area also provides ample opportunities for nature trails, allowing visitors to explore the diverse flora and fauna that thrive in the region.
