Fishing on the Mallard pool, one of five lakes (added by manager 10 Jun 2021)

1/8

Well-maintained Shropshire site with high-quality fishing
A 20-minute drive to Shrewsbury; Shropshire Hills 15 minutes
Tackle and bait shop on site, plus café offering snacks and deliveries

Any anglers out there, this is one for you. The five ponds (both carp and coarse fishing) at Spring Lea Park are set over 12 acres of neat grounds and pathways, with clear signage directing guests to the pools and pegs as well as guiding you through the species found in each pond. The fishing pools are well stocked with hard-fighting carp, as well as bream, tench, and roach. A limited number of exclusive 24-hour tickets are available for the specimen carp lake, and you can buy tackle and bait from the shop at reception – in short, everything you need for a great day’s fishing. The Lakeside Café is on hand for locally sourced hot and cold snacks or drinks, and there’s an outdoor terrace – or you can order directly from your peg for delivery right to you at the waterside. Pick up bits and bobs from Pontesbury shops (five minutes’ drive) to grill on the barbecue, and if self-catering is not for you, you’ve a decent choice of pubs and takeaways there too. For bigger stocking-up missions, the supermarkets of Shrewsbury (20 minutes) await. Straightforward on-site amenities include a shower and toilet block, and a washing-up area.

Powered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked: Nice little site , owners very informative upon arrival . Shower block and toilets very clean. Nice breakfast Washing up station very clean (just not big enough) Nice location very easy to get to supermarket roughly 10/15 mins drive Good electricity supply never tripped out

Disliked: not much to do for kids very small park (one slide one swing), children age 10 and 13 The smell at night time and first thing from the fishing lakes was awful Need more washing up stations as there was only one

Powered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked: Brand new toilet and shower units, cleaned regularly, fishing lakes very peaceful, Phil who worked there was great very helpful, will definitely be going back. Unsure if they have WiFi as used my own Data.

Disliked: Nothing much within walking distance, have to drive to the local shop. Currently have work going on so if sitting by the tent in the day can be very noisy but will be great once finished making new pitches for static caravans.
