Situated next to the holiday cottages at the top of the Hawford Bridge site, The Grove has been developed for residents and visitors.

Two acres in size with five islands, this has been stocked with common carp to 16lbs but averaging between 2lbs and 3lbs, mirrors of a similar size, crucian carp and tenchg to about 12oz and bream to 4lbs but averaging about 1lb 8oz.

Around the sides the lake is about two feet deep until you get about 30 feet out when it drops to a flat and even bottom about five feet deep.

So far, fishing the pole has been the most popular method used although waggler and ledger techniques also work well.

Whilst all swims work well, fishing in the margins or to one of the islands can be particularly rewarding with the most favoured bait being pellet although maggots, casters, worm, luncheon meat and sweetcorn all work well.
