Coombe Pool Fishery is a mature estate lake covering 80 acres set in a beautiful 400 acre Country Park, noted for its specimen pike, zander, carp, tench and bream.
You can relax in the stunning surroundings of historic Coombe Country Park while you fish the spectacular lake, which was originally designed as part of the landscape by Capability Brown.
The lake is part of the designated Site of Special Scientific Interest which covers the Heronry and protected woodland that line one side of the lake.
It is now home to a wealth of wildlife and is an attraction all year round.
