The Pit
Created in 1980 and covering roughly 2.5 acres, The Pit is widely respected as a quiet, tranquil and above all friendly fishing lake with its own on-site bait shop, where you can also pick up a cup of tea or an ice cream.
There are 24 swims around the outside of The Pit, and in summer months or on bank holidays it is advisable to arrive early as it does get busy.
The Pit is host to many varieties of fish, including Carp, Crucian, Tench, Perch and Roach. The largest carp to be caught in The Pit so far is 27lbs and one of our regulars recently caught a 10lb tench and a 9lb barbel.
On the site is ‘The Hut’, which is where you fill in your tickets outside of reception opening hours (see ‘how to pay’) and also a unisex toilet with hot and cold running water. The car park has plenty of space for everyone and the lakes are within easy walking distance. Registered disabled users with a valid blue badge may drive right up to the lake, weather permitting (please check with reception).
The Pool
The Pool opened in September 2004 and fast became a popular venue not only for pleasure fishing, but also for private clubs and their matches. Unfortunately, from 2013 we have stopped private clubs booking The Pool due to the high demand for pleasure fishing, so you can rest assured The Pool will always be open for pleasure fishing.
There are 28 swims around the outside of The Pool, and with thousands of growing Carp, Chubb, Barbel, Ide and Tench it is a very popular lake that suits a large range of fishermen’s expectations.
The Pool is open for pleasure fishing every day and we also offer an evening ticket from 4.30pm, but there is no admission for anglers or visitors from 5pm.
