Description: The lakes are beautifully landscaped, safe and well thought out, incorporating bays, controlled weed beds, rushes and islands. The swims are large, safe and comfortable for night fishing. Day and Night fishing tickets are available only to Members or those with an accommodation reservation.
There are two well stocked specimen lakes containing many superb specimen carp, over 30lbs+, the larger of the two specimen lakes - Lake 2, also contains an abundance of catfish (introduced in July 2002) and some now over 40lbs together with specimen carp. Both of these lakes have well kept natural grassy banks with lovely views of the surrounding countryside, a truly magical place to spend the day fishing.
