Radipole Lake's patio has been closed to visitors for the past few weeks as it underwent a complete refurbishment and transformation.
The above photos show the patio in September before the refurbishment started. The photos below show the work which took place to transform the patio into a terrace.
View from the Pond Dipping Platform overlooking the reedbed.

View of the observation area by the Discovery Centre. The metal safety rails are specially designed so that we can enjoy uninterrupted views across the lake.
The new terrace and pond dipping boardwalks.The new terrace is now ready for tables and chairs and for visitors to enjoy the view.
The RSPB is very grateful to the Coastal Community Fund who funded the project. The terrace was built by Flights of Fancy who are based in Norfolk. They also built the platforms on the reserve, the duck feeding platform, the pond dipping platform so Radipole Lake has had a long association with them.
The terrace will be open to the public tomorrow, weather permitting so...
Transformed! An excellent job well worth the effort.
Seize the day!
