About This Fishery

A specialist carp fishery excavated in 2010 by expert digger operator Paul Millard and designed by fish farming veteran Tony Campbell, set on the outskirts of Mere approximately 10 miles from Warminster. The 4.5-acre Main Lake is divided into 12 private swims by six islands and spits of land, giving each angler their own area of water and a genuine feeling of solitude. A smaller Cabin Lake with timber fishing cabins was added in 2020.
