Pixies Mere Fishery

Pixies Mere is a mature 4 acre lake with 44 pegs, the pegs are fairly large and vary from cut outs from the bank to landing stages. The lake varies in depth but is predominately 3 to 4 foot (there is a deep hole near pegs 26 and 27). The lake is composed of a large open are at one end and several narrow channels (12-20m) at the other end with numerous islands, lily pads and overhanging willows throughout the lake.

There are 4 purpose built fishing stations for disabled anglers, who can bring their cars to the swims, bumper stops for wheelchairs.

There is a large map of the lake in the main car park and also a toilet. The "Three Horseshoes" pub which dates back to 1535 is 200 yards away.

The lake is available for private matches either whole or part lake.
