Carpitright's private lake exclusive to you

Surrounded by fifteen acres of private woodland in the heart of the Dorset countryside this beautiful lake

Fed by rich natural springs the lake is around four and a half acres in size and ranges in depth from 2-1/2' in the shallow end gradually getting deeper as you travel the length of the lake, with the top bay average depth being 11'. The lake is fringed with water lilies with plenty of margin shelves to fish. There are five attractive islands and the whole lake is lined with tree's, bushes and plants. Well kept paths lead you around each curve and corner, around each another stunning swim

We have a good and varied stocking of fish

• Tench
• Common Mirror Crucian Carp
• Roach & Rudd
• Perch

You are spoilt for choice when it comes to swims which are comfortable to fish, although still very natural with lush grass and plenty of features to fish in each one. The shallows are perfect for observing fish as they follow their patrol routes in and around the weed, brilliant for stalking and surface fishing sessions

There is good access around the lake with wheel chair access for around two thirds.

We do not have public flushing toilets or disabled facilities on site.

Students use a freshly dug natural composting latrine in the woods.

If required we are happy to arrange the hire a portaloo for your private use.
