St James Lake is a manmade lake at the southern end of the town off Hinton Road. It was built by Anglian Water as a balancing lake for the new residential development known locally as 'the French estate' in 1977. It is leased by Brackley Town Council and sublet to the Brackley & District Angling Club. The area around the lake is rich in wildlife and very popular for quiet walks as well as fishing.
