Description: The lake was dug in 2005 and stocked shortly after with a large number of Carp, Tench and Rudd by the then owner. The lake is just under an acre and includes two islands which help to separate the anglers and ensure everyone has their own water to fish. The lake has 14 hand built wooden stages that provide flat, stable pegs. We continue to develop the flora and fauna around the lake and have planted a number of lilies, reedmace and other water plants to provide the fish with some cover. We have also planted a large number of native trees and shrubs around the lake and on the islands. We hope that in time, this will provide a more natural environment.
