Coarse Fishing
Fishing in our five coarse fishing lakes, is available for all our visitors, at a small weekly charge* of £15, per rod, per person, per week or part week.

Two lakes are stocked with a mixture of rudd, chubb, perch, tench, roach and carp, with many into double figures. The other three, nearest to the accommodation and camping areas, are devoted entirely to tench and carp.

Our waters are not subject to a close season and therefore can be fished all year round. Children under 14 will not be permitted to fish unless they are accompanied by a responsible adult at all times. During the 2008 and 2009 seasons, people regularly caught catches of 100 lbs plus, during a day session.

Kingfisher Lake Approximately 100 metres from the accommodation and camping areas, and is reached by an earth and shale pathway, although you can park a car within 20 metres. It is devoted entirely to tench and carp.
Moorhen Lake Approximately 200 metres from the accommodation and camping areas, and is reached by an earth and shale pathway. It is devoted entirely to tench and carp.

Woodpecker Lake Approximately 250 meters from accommodation, new for 2010 stocked with carp of 8lb plus and is reached by a very gently sloping path.
Mallard Lake Approximately 500 metres from the accommodation and camping areas, although a car can be parked about 30 metres from it by driving down an earth and shale track. It is well stocked with a variety of coarse fish.
Swallow Lake Approximately 1000 metres from the accommodation and camping areas, although a car can be parked about 10 metres from it by driving down an earth and shale track. It is well stocked with a variety of coarse fish.

As with all UK fisheries, Anglers must be in possession of a UK Non-Migratory Trout and Coarse Rod Licence (sometimes called a Fishing Licence) which is issued by the Environment Agency. See http://www.environment-agency.gov.uk/. An application form for these can be obtained from a post office or they can be bought on the internet here.
