Wonderful place, very well maintained, clean bathrooms, souvenir shop, very friendly and helpful employees at all times.

The best place to fish for trout, bbq or take home. You pay the entrance to the park, they sell you food to give to the trout and they rent you the bbq and tables in advance online.

A very nice and relaxing experience.

The kids loved the trout! There were thousands of rainbow and brown trout in different beautifully laid out ponds. Food was 60p per bag to feed them and a handful brought them jumping out of the water. There were sections of the park where you could fish your own trout and barbecue grills set up around the ponds for you to cook on. They had a small park, and a gift shop. And you could also purchase fresh trout from their farm shop. A nice couple of hours on a nice sunny day, educational for the kids.
