Meadow Fishery

Meadow Fishery consists of three purpose built lakes (Meadow Lake, Willow Lake and Mallard Lake) situated in 17 acres of low lying meadow. They are spring fed which artificially raises the existing high water table. The lakes are stocked with both rainbow and brown trout to a density of 150 to the acre and are restocked regularly on a 'put and take' basis, ensuring consistent stocking levels.

 

Although initially man-made, care has been taken to make the lakes look both natural and attractive, the surrounding area having been planted with two thousand trees and shrubs. Twenty five years after its completion it's hard to tell that Meadow Lake hasn't always been there! All three lakes have islands which help attract a diverse range of wildlife

 

Among the facilities provided are toilet and washroom, changing room and ample parking. Hot and cold drinks, crisps and chocolate can be purchased in the shop. Alternatively, refreshment of a more substantial nature can be obtained at the Shrewsbury Arms, a hundred yards East along the road from the Fishery entrance, or the Nags Head, two hundred yards further.
