There are two fishing lakes at Woodhouse Farm Holiday Park.

Both lakes offering a quiet location to enjoy fishing and an opportunity to spot the local wildlife. The main lake is situated at the top of the dog walk and the small lake is behind the sheep meadow in front of the woodland. View our Park Map.

The larger of the two lakes has been recently refurbished and restocked. Fish include Common, Crucian and Mirror Carp, Rudd, Chubb, Roach and Perch.
