Description: The lakes are located off Halsam's Lane, at Darley Abbey, just north of Derby. The entrance track is opposite Folly Road, which is adjacent to Derby Rugby Club on Haslam's Lane. Access to the pond and river is for members only (no day tickets). A WAA key will be needed to open the two gates, and these must be kept shut. There is a fenced designated car park provided right next to the Earl of Harrington lake. WAA members may fish the smaller pond, which is a short walk north from the car park, situated within the long loop of the river Derwent. The field around the lake is full of sheep, and there are also lots of geese here, so sensible footwear is advised. As the pond is prone to inundation when the river is in flood, the fish stocks are a bit of a mystery, but the pond is reportedly good for tench fishing.
