How End Fisheries

How End Fisheries was created in 2010 from existing meadow fields which were surrounded by trees bordering all sides. These trees, numbering over 300 and containing large numbers of Oak, Sycamore, Silver Birch and Elms have matured to give a stunning backdrop to the lakes. Views from the lakes are now quite spectacular, and on some pegs the remains of the historic Houghton House can be seen on the hill above.
