The Fishery
There have been lakes at Fancott for hundreds of years. The natural layers of clay and sand created ponds - the earliest record we have found (1581) shows two small lakes in the position of our fishery. Today the water extends to two and a half acres.
The fishery has been landscaped over the last ten years and is home to a highly varied species of wild plants, trees and bird life.
The lake appeals to anglers that appreciate peace and quiet, good quality fishing and beautiful surroundings.
Originally stocked in 1997, the spring-fed lake has five islands. Every swim has cover and/or features to fish to, with depths from two to six feet.
Most swims have marginal planting of iris, reed mace, sedge grass, Norfolk reed or lilies.
Numerous sightings of woodpeckers, warblers and kingfishers along with dragonflies and damselflies means you have plenty of things to see whilst you enjoy a bit of peace and quiet away from home.
