Description: The 7 acre lake is situated in Allestree Park which is some 320 acres, making it the largest open space in Derby. It is a mixed fishery with specimen carp, tench, bream, pike and silvers. We continue to work with Derby City Council to improve the lake and further habitat is continually being planted alongside a fishery management programme. A stunning lake with huge potential.
