There might be no amusements, donkey rides or even a 99 with sprinkles, but you can enjoy some fresh air at a secluded 'beach' here in Leicestershire.
Tucked away in the Ashby Woulds is a clay lake formed by mining subsidence.
But if you squint in the blazing May sunshine we've been enjoying it could seem like the real thing.

The Albert Village Lake site, which lies between Ashby and Swadlincote close to the temporarily closed Conkers, is open for people to enjoy.
Of course there's no sand, but the baked clay inclines down to the water are perfect open spaces to set up camp with your household to catch some rays.
There's also benches dotted around the lake too.
There's no swimming or unorganised watersports allowed - but if you're brave enough you can dip your toes in.
Don't forget to bring something for the birds to eat if you're picnicking here - there's all manner of wildfowl to see, including swans, geese, ducks and moorhens plus often rare species too, who flock to the site's open water and sheltering island.
Running around the lake is a tarmacked pathway making the site fully accessible, so perfect for buggies and a gentle stroll or for cycling if you prefer. Paths here are also wide enough to practice good social distancing.
These run all the way to the free car park off Occupation Lane, although the site can be also accessed on foot from all nearby roads.
So if you live near enough to travel by foot or cycle you don't have to head to Occupation Lane.
And there are plenty of other sites to explore nearby, such as the adjacent Diana Princess of Wales Memorial Woodland or Pick Triangle Woods, should you need to go in search of shade.
