Amenities

In 2006 the centre of Southwater was redeveloped creating the popular Lintot Square. Lintot Square is teeming with a host of shops and amenities. Whether it’s a supermarket, gift shop, chemist, doctor’s surgery, library, beauty salon or a place to eat or drink with friends, everything you need is on your doorstep.

There is also a lovely café selling homemade cakes, and three popular public houses: the Hen and Chicken; the Tipsy Fox; and the Lintot. Interestingly, Lintot is a reference to Barnaby Bernard Lintot (1675–1736), an English publisher born in Southwater.

Southwater Country Park

Southwater has an abundance of activities for all ages. You will find most will take place at the expansive 90-acre Country Park. Southwater Country Park offers a selection of outdoor activities including an adventure-style play area (now known as Dinosaur Island), orienteering course, canoeing, sailing and windsurfing.

The Park has a café, Visitor Centre and a beautiful wildlife area, ‘The Quarry’, which is managed for nature conservation and supports wildlife such as lizards, Kingfishers, Nightingales and various butterflies and dragonflies.
