Local fishing lake...
There is a small public fishing lake within 5 minutes walk of house. Just walk across the main road into the woods - you will see it on google maps.
Perfect spot to introduce the kids to a bit of fishing. Not for professional anglers looking to catch their PB.
Fishing license is required.
