OPEN APRIL

Lonsdale Park is the site of the old Lonsdale Brick and Tile Works, which was owned by the Lonsdale Family. Many parts of the site date back to 1869.

The ponds are old clay pits, so often have a rich colour - especially when the fish are feeding!

Some under water features are remnants of the ponds industrial heritage, and are marked on our site map.

Lonsdale Park is also a SSSI, which is a site of special scientific interest, designated by Natural England. This accolade is a result of the careful conservation work which has encouraged and preserved a wide variety of wildlife, with many rare birds and orchids found on-site.

Fishing is free on all five lakes, and the entire estate is exclusive to guests April to October. From November to Easter our lakes can be booked for private events or match bookings. A limited number of day fisherman are permitted November to March. Our aim is to ensure our lakes are never crowded, some days you may even have one all to yourself! All of our accommodation has its own private fishing pegs, most of which are only a pole's length away from the back door!
