Location

History
Hidden in a wooded valley near Wenlock Edge, the lake's construction dates back to the 18th Century. The lake was re-excavated and remodelled in the late 1980s, after which it became a private syndicate. Having been left to wild until 2022, the lake has now had a complete restocking, and has become a prime and very mature water that is steeped in wildlife, fauna and complimented by beautiful surroundings.

Features include weed beds, lilly pads, rushes and a small island. A total of 10 swims. The lake has the benefit of a boathouse, situated on the southern bank.

There is a locked gated access leading to a generous car parking area. The site is fenced, with a 4 ft wire mesh fence and timber posts.

Fish stock
The lake is stocked with a total of approximately 65 fish, predominantly mirror carp, zip linears and a few old English common carp. The current stock range in size up to 28lbs+.
