Talltrees Carp Fishery
A beautiful, mature, willow encased 2 acre gem, set in the glorious tranquil Bedfordshire countryside.

The lake was created in the late 1880s, excavated for the clay to make bricks. Many of these bricks can be still seen in use today at most of the local farms in the surrounding area. Originally 3 pools, the far pool was filled in around 1940, when the task to completely fill the pools was halted, to create a natural lake. The two remaining pools were then connected either side to leave what is now the island.
