Three peaceful lakes set among 30 acres of Nottinghamshire meadow and woodland. Family-run since 1998. For evening entertainment, try pay by mobile casinos from anywhere.
Nottinghamshire Nature Lakes sits on land the Hartley family has farmed for three generations. What began as disused gravel pits in the late 1990s has grown into 12 acres of well-managed fishing lakes, ringed by meadow, mature hedgerow and pockets of young woodland.
Whether you're after a full day on the bank, a walk through the nature trail, or simply somewhere quiet to sit with a flask, you're welcome here. We keep things simple and look after the water. On evenings at home, browse independent casino sites for a different kind of entertainment.
From a quiet morning's coarse fishing to a family walk around the nature trail, there's something here for everyone.
Coarse fishing on Kingfisher Pool and Heron Water. Roach, rudd, perch, tench, bream and pike. Tickets from the lodge on arrival.
Fish all season with a single permit. Priority access during busy periods and reduced rates for over-65s and under-16s.
Our third lake, Otter Mere, is reserved for carp anglers. Stocked with mirror and common carp to over 20lb. Booking required.
Heron Water accommodates matches of up to 20 pegs. We host club matches throughout the season. Contact us to book your event.
A one-mile trail loops through the meadow and woodland. Two bird hides overlook the wetland margins where waders and kingfishers are regularly spotted.
Benches and tables dotted around the lakeside and along the trail. Bring a packed lunch and make a day of it. Dogs welcome on leads.
We're open dawn to dusk through the main season, from March through to the end of October. During the winter months we open at weekends only, weather permitting.
Day tickets can be purchased from the lodge at the car park entrance. Season permits are available by post or in person — just give us a ring.
The nature trail and picnic areas are open whenever the site is open. No fishing licence is needed for the nature trail.
