Coarse fishing campsite with pub nearby? . (1 Viewer)

[Roseandpeter]

Hi

We are looking for a couple of nights away mid week ...would like a small campsite with coarse fishing lakes (not river fishing) and walking distance to nice pub/s. we live in Shrewsbury and dont want to travel further than an hour and a half.

Any ideas??

Thanks

Yes, there are a couple near Shrewsbury, one near Condover and one around Pontesbury area, When I'm back I will have a look in the C7CC book. There is a large one just out of Stafford, but that may be to far.

Thanks Nomadic.

Stafford would be fine..Condover a little too close to home though. I have been trawling the net for campsites with decent coarse fishing ( ha ha ) in Cotswolds, Malvern, Derbyshire, Hereford etc but most seem to be river fishing or too isolated with no pub.

Thought there may be some keen anglers on the forum with a few ideas

Wyreside in Lancashire has good lakes, camping facilities for a few only and a pub on site. Might be a little more than an hour and a half from you. It's about 10/15 mins from junction 33 on m6.

Not into fishing so think this might be river, but right on your doorstep

What do you want the pub for? You can't fish while at the pub but you can have a drink or two while on the bank.

Where else are you going to tell the stories about the ones which got away?

I rarely get to the stage of having fish getting away. Most of the time, the only thing that I get on my hooks are maggots

C&CC site at "Hereford", which is actually at Tarrington, mid way between said town and Ledbury. The site is built around Tarrington Millpond, a lovely 3 acre lake with big carp, huge perch (and gudgeon!), roach, rudd, bream, crucians the odd tench etc. The Tarrington Arms is supposed to be 1/3 mile away, but seems longer when I walk it! Super site, lovely people, great day ticket fishing.

I'll second the C&CC site at Tarrington, Hereford.
