Located 100m from the car park, the lake has easy access with several benches and a pathway around it; an accessible fishing bay is located near the Nature Reserve. Annual Fishing Permit holders also benefit from access to a permit holder only fishing area.

Annual Permits are valid from June 16th until March 14th annually as we apply a close season. They are available to purchase via Eventbrite only. 

Day Tickets are also available to purchase on Eventbrite only.

The most prolific types of fish are Rudd, Roach, Bream and Tench. Rudd and Roach can be caught on simple float fishing tactics with maggots, caster or bread baits. Bream and Tench can be caught fishing on the bottom with either floats at close range or feeder/leger a bit further out. Pike and Carp are present at a low stock level and are tricky to catch requiring a dedicated specialist approach.
