  • Fish in five well-stocked on-site lakes
  • Pitches with lakeside views
  • Modern showers and toilets with good disabled access
Fishing in East Anglia should sound pretty perfect to angling types. Serious fisherfolk seeking a fishing holiday in Norfolk should give serious consideration to Narborough Fisheries, on its own private 16-acre site to the west of the county and with fishing lakes flowing with chalk stream water from the River Nar. Narborough Fisheries has five lakes available to guests: Millers, a specimen carp lake (with a 35-pound fish recorded in 2023); Foresters Well, a well-stocked mixed coarse lake; Ashford, a match/coarse lake stocked with over 9,000 fish; Willow, a catch and keep trout lake; and Meadow, which is stocked with over 70 carp weighing four to 10 pounds. There's also a specimen trout stock pond available for catch and release only (with fish weighing up to 17 pounds). Fishing pitches at Narborough are set along two of the lakes with pretty perfect lakeside views. The modern shower and toilet block, like the rest of the site, is kept to high standards. Narborough Fisheries also has a small tackle shop selling a good range of tackle, bait and fishing accessories, plus hot and cold drinks, ice creams, sweets and other treats. Just remember to bring your Environment Agency rod licence.

Liked: We spent the weekend here fishing so our husbands could fish. It’s great. Lovely sitting listening to the nature while the men fish. They picked the pegs near the motorhomes so we could supply them with drink and food. Fish are in lovely condition. There is a lovely walk round the outside of the site with seating and the River. Definitely go back again. Tim was very helpful and nice and the site is definitely a reflection on the hard work he puts in

Local attractions

Fishing, fishing, nature reserves, the north Norfolk coastline and watery sports: what a lot of activities there are to catch in this part of East Anglia. King's Lynn about nine miles away has several fisheries owned or managed by the King's Lynn Angling Association to cast off for carp, zander, bream, roach, perch and pike along the Great Ouse and other watery locations; access some via Magdalen Bridge, Ten Mile Bank, Downham Market and Denver Sluice among many others. Away from the rod, take the budget-friendly local bus from Narborough village east to comely Norwich for a day among its Lanes and historic market for shopping, and a look at as many as possible of the Norwich 12, the city's historic buildings, as can possibly be fitted in on a day trip. (If you only have time for a couple, the obvious two are Norman Norwich Castle, which includes the Norwich Castle Museum and Art Gallery, and Norwich Cathedral with its rather splendid large cloisters.) Going west, pick the cathedral city of Peterborough for another day trip: alongside its 12-century cathedral, potter among the quarter of a million or so exhibits of the Peterborough Museum and Art Gallery, watersports on the lakes at Nene Park, a puff on the Nene Valley Railway between Peterborough Nene Valley and Yarwell Junction, and a night out at the Key Theatre, where shows of all sorts run all year. Also get hooked on the wildlife and sumptuous scenery in the area, with a trip to the nearest nature reserve, the Norfolk Wildlife Trust's chalk grassland of Narborough Railway Line, or a wildlife-spotting float around the Norfolk Broads, easily accessible from Norwich.
