There are two lakes-a coarse lake and a trout lake. The coarse lake is approximately 4 acres and the trout lake 3.5 acres. The lakes are fed by a local river-the Camac- which runs alongside them and branches off into each. Contrary to appearances the 'fishing' lakes were only created in 2001 as part of flood prevention works on the Camac in what was formerly a large meadow area filled with wildflowers. The lakes were initially stocked with Rainbow Trout in the lower lake and Carp in the upper lake near the car park.  Fish stocks no longer seem to be maintained and the fishing shop isn't open for rental of rods.  Perhaps that will change in the future and you still see people fishing from time to time.
