The map provided here is based on the postcode of the venue.
Royal mail are very good at allocating postcodes to buildings
but much less good at lakes and rivers. Therefore where a
venue does not really have a postcode I have tried to find a
postcode that is as close as possible to the venue. This might
be that of a nearby hotel or even the village post office. You
should therefore always ensure you have proper directions
for the last half-mile or so to the venue.

Had not been here for a couple of years . What a difference ! The owners of this fishery deserve a massive pat on the back. Well stocked fly lakes, especially the big top lake. A new tackle shop and cafe with very competitive prices and a great choice of day tickets to suit everyone . Well done.

I paid   :  £8.00
Stayed :  4 hours
Caught :  3 rainbows and 1 blue.
Best fly:  Silver blob
Tactics :  Floating line , long leader and slow retrieve.
