Coate Water Country Park, near Swindon, Wiltshire, UK. 4th April 2020. Expectant swans wait for tidbits from passersby on a misty Spring morning in Wiltshire. Coate Water is situated south east of Swindon near Junction 15 of the M4 Motorway and the reservoir was originally built to provide water for the Wilts & Berks Canal. In 1914, with the canal abandoned, Coate became a pleasure park and in 1935 a 33 ft (10m) high concrete platform was built in an Art Deco style which has in the past been praised by English Heritage, although swimming in the lake has been prohibited since 1958.
