The Canal Farm lake – 15 years old!

In January 2006 work started on excavating the lake, in the heavy clay field in front of Canal Farm -quite a feat!  Then the surrounding area landscaped with extensive hedge and tree planting programme.  It’s quite amazing to look back at how it’s developed over the years!

Now 15 years later the lake and the surrounding woodland and hedges have matured, creating a sheltered haven for fishermen and wildlife.  The fish in the lake have grown to a considerable size – a carp of 25lb was the record in 2020!  The fishing is exclusively for our guests, and because the lake is not over used the fish are in excellent health.
