Behind a row of houses set back from the main A5 at Grendon, between Atherstone and Tamworth, the family-run Riddings Fishery comprises four beautifully maintained pools on a 15-acre site which offer a combination of mixed pleasure and match angling,a specialist Crucian Carp pool and a big carp Specimen Pool where the record for a single fish currently stands at 39lbs 14oz.

Developed in 1990, all the waters have been carefully planned and have matured nicely.

The bankside vegetation,shrubs and trees are set off by grass banks and verges which are regularly mown,whilst gravel walkways behind every peg make the fishery suitable for disabled anglers.

Because the pools are fed with water from an on - site borehole, the water quality is high and the well - maintained banksides make this an ideal venue for anglers and their families-a great place for youngsters to learn, and catch.

Next to the main car park, which is only yards from Riddings Pool yet screened from the water by trees and shrubs, is a cafe which is open at weekends and Bank Holidays for hot and cold sandwiches, bacon and eggs, tea, coffee, cold drinks and confectionery.

Next to the cafe are clean and well - maintained ladies and gents toilets.
