Description:

Welcome to Loch Neaton - the Jewel of the Town

Set in beautiful surroundings on the outskirts of Watton, Loch Neaton is a well stocked fishing lake, perfect for anglers of all ages and abilities, particularly resplendent when the 7 lily beds are in flower. As anglers will know, fishing is particularly good around lily beds. A delightful lady called Avril Smith, who I met by chance whilst photographing the lilies at the end of June 2010, described the Loch as 'Norfolk's Unspoilt Monet's Garden', a very apt description for this beautiful and tranquil corner of Norfolk.
