Description: There are now six pools in the stream and two independent pools (the Paddock and Farm Pools). The surface of the stream and pools covers about 7 acres. The fishing is set in delightful surroundings and the islands and banks have been carefully planted with trees, shrubs, wild irises and other appropriate plants in positions which do not impede casting and which encourage the wild life to flourish.

There is a small fishing hut (with electric lighting, W.C. and wash basin) near the entrance where fishermen may leave their rods etc. Members are provided with a key which operates the locks on the entrance and fishing hut doors. There are also shelters near the Park, Island and Haseley Pools.
