Description: Set in eight acres of Cheshire heartland, Greenwood Fishery and Nature Reserve is a privately-owned, non-profit-making, rural regeneration project. All available income from the fishery is ploughed back into the management and upgrading of the fish stocks and improving facilities, services and amenities, for the benefit of the visitors. Further work to enhance local countryside, improve the environment and provide a peaceful caring haven for wildlife, carries on throughout the year. Not only anglers but their families, companions and the public in general are welcome to enjoy a truly relaxing experience in peaceful, natural surroundings. With the exception of Christmas and special maintenance days, the site is open throughout the year, for day and night fishing.
