Fishing Breaks

Here at Bulworthy Forest Lodges many a day can be whiled away fishing in the four well stocked lakes nestling in the valley amongst the lodges.

Webbery and Barton Lakes offer Carp and Coarse fish (the lakes opposite Kingfisher Lodge/ Lakeside Lodges and Chestnut Lodge respectively). Plus, Coarse Fish (Tench, Roach, Perch and Bream) also in Matthew’s Lake (at the entrance gate) and Bulworthy Lake.

We pride ourselves on the welfare and sustainability of Bulworthy fish as well as the wildlife and birdlife that share our beautiful 24-acre estate. That’s why we only allow our guests to fish in our lakes and we also ask you to please abide by our fishing rules . Thank you in advance.

Fishing on our lakes requires all persons over 13 years to have an Environment Agency rod license which can be obtained from any Post Office or by visiting https://www.gov.uk/fishing-licences.

We ask that non barbed hooks are used and no keep nets are used.

Latest News:

This year so far, some diligent fishing has brought out a 17 lb carp from Webbery Lake, and we know there is a large 25lb plus specimen evading capture so far.

In Matthew’s Lake recently a wonderful perch of approx. 4lbs. showed up.

The fish are in good condition as the lakes are not intensively fished and should you need advice or forget anything, we have a great local tackle shops at Quay Sports Barnstaple (15 min drive) or Summerland Tackle (in Westward Ho )if you need.
