Can I drive to my swim?

We prefer if you do not drive to your swim; however if you are disabled and need to drive to your swim to unload then the bailiff will let you through. Once you have unloaded please return your car to the car park and the key to the shop. If you hold a disabled badge you may keep your car by your swim as long as you put your badge on display.

Do you have any swims for the disabled?

We have wooden platforms which are easily accessible on most of our lakes, which are suitable for disabled users. There are plenty available so there is no need to book.

New for 2024 is a disabled car park with accessible swims near by.

Can I leave the site at night once the gates are locked?

No, once the gates are closed they will be closed until 7am the next morning unless there is an emergency.

Can I bring my dog with me?

Due to the disturbance to other anglers and the wildlife we have had to put into place a no dog policy.
