The one-and-a-half-acre lake is stocked with over 10,000 fish, including Mirror & Common Carp to double figures, Bream, Tench, Chub, Barbel and Roach. The central island is split into three, with shallow channels in between to allow optimum fish movement. The water is naturally red-coloured due to the rich ochre content of the local soil.
