New Venue for 2025: New Mill Lake
Introducing New Mill Lake, a private 7.5-acre lake in northwest France, featuring carp up to 50lbs. Situated conveniently close to the ferry ports at Caen and Le Havre, this venue is easily reachable for visitors. You can view a video summary of the venue by clicking on the video tab.
The venue includes a beautifully restored two-bedroom, two-bathroom farmhouse just 25 metres from the lake, comfortably accommodating up to four adults. Click the facilities tab for full description of accommodation and photos.
The lake itself is picturesque, providing an ideal fishing setting for up to four anglers. Enclosed by mature trees and shrubs, the lake has lily pads appearing in warmer months, creating a serene landscape. The lakebed is firm with a light covering of silt, and depths range from shallow margins to 13 feet.
There are four large, comfortable swims, plus one stalking swim. Each of the four main swims is equipped with a cabin, spacious enough to fish from while accommodating a bedchair. Swims 1 and 2 also allow room for a bivvy, leaving the choice to you.
The lake holds approximately 160 carp, ranging from 20lbs to 50lbs, with a healthy number of fish over 30lbs and 40lbs.
Bookings for this venue are available with or without the farmhouse:
The farmhouse can accommodate up to 6 with 2 additional single beds in the master bedroom which is ideal for children. The price for 5 is £1700 and for 6 it is £1800.
Bookings run from Saturday to Saturday.
Additional Extras: meal packages, including breakfast delivered to your swim each morning and a two-course evening meal. Please refer to the food package tab for more details.
Landing nets, slings, and cradles are available free of charge. We also offer a full range of tackle for hire if you prefer to travel light.
House and branded bait is available to purchased, along with prepared maize and particle mix.
Choose between two meal packages: breakfast only, or breakfast and evening meal.
Arrival and departure times will be confirmed at booking, and we’ll do our best to accommodate early and late check-ins.
