Click here to read an article on Cedar Lake.
Cedar is a mature gravel pit which lies a few minutes drive from its sister venue, the Island Lake. It’s around 4 acres in size and has 2 lakeside wooden chalets, both with their own fishing platforms. 4 anglers can hire the whole lake exclusively, including both chalets, but we also accept bookings from 2 pairs of anglers – each pair having use of one of the chalets.

Here’s some feedback from the 2008 season;
"78 fish caught. 16 fish lost... and had a day off on Wednesday to go to Euro Disney! 16 x 30's.... biggest fish 39.10 mirror. 55 x 20's. 19 of the twenties were mid to high."
Andrew Knox & Tim Higgins, September 2008.
"Well there say a little bit Heaven is somewhere for everyone and I found it at Cedar lake! Fishing swim 3 I had 44 fish to 38lb 10ozs. Andy had 26 fish to 33lb 12ozs from swim 4. 70 fish for the week. This is my best trip in 15 years of going to France!"
Kevin Smith, July 2008
"The average size of fish is incredible and the facilities are great!"
Phil & Andy Murray, April 2008
Cedar is set in its own very private grounds, securely fenced in and separated from the road by the large Cedar trees from which it takes its name. As anyone who has fished the Island Lake will tell you, the owners - Tommy and George Young and their bailiff Mick Hall - know what’s needed to produce a first class fishery, both in terms of carp stock and facilities, and they will spare no expense to do it... so you can be confident that Cedar is a top quality venue.

They have installed two new wooden chalets on opposite banks of the lake, each having steps down to its own large, comfortable fishing platform. Each chalet has electricity, a fridge and cooking facilities and will comfortably sleep 2 people in 2 single beds (no bedding is supplied at all – please bring your own pillows, sleeping bags etc). At present there is no mains water available in the chalets but there is a refillable water tank to provide water for washing up etc. The newly built toilet and shower block does have mains water and drainage and is housed in a separate cabin on the third bank, a couple of minutes walk from either chalet. Access by car is possible to both chalets.
Because of the steps down to the fishing platforms from the chalets it would be too dangerous to allow fishing from the chalet i.e. you must be down on the platform with your rods if they are fishing. There’s plenty of room to bivvy up on the platforms so night fishing is not a problem.
Show me some photos of the accommodation.
Cedar had a stock of resident carp which was supplemented by additional stocking in 2005. In November 2006 another 57 carp between 15lb & 36lb were introduced, the vast majority being mid-twenties and including 6 x 30's.
This took the known stock to around 170 carp between 18 & 41lb. These fish have grown on really well and the average weight is now in the high 20’s, there are loads of 30’s and most weeks sees a 40lb’er on the bank.
And the fishing is pretty prolific too – catches of 30+ fish per swim are not unusual. Couple this with a really high average size & you can see why Cedar has become so popular.
Take a look at the feedback & you’ll see what we mean.
Fishing - from £255 per person, per week, including ferry crossing based on 4 anglers.
