The grounds are grassed surfaces with embedded gravel along footways. Most grassed areas are kept of manageable length and should not prove difficult for any wheel chair user to negotiate.
However, for reasons of safety our approach is all short grass indicates safe areas and all long grass requires caution. Around the edges of all lakes the grass is deliberately left long as it provides an element of cover for the fish and visually indicates the edge of the lake.
The Fishery has 3 Trout Lakes, 2 Coarse Lakes, and 1 Novices pool for Coarse Fishing.
The Trout lakes hold Rainbows, Blues from 2lb and Brown Trout.
The Coarse Lakes hold all varieties of Carp (Ghost, Mirror, Common, Koi, Grass), real quality Roach, good Bream, Tench, small Chub, small Barbel and some good Eels.
