FISHING AT PRIORY MARINA.

You may fish from your houseboat subject to local conditions and obtaining permission from reception. Permission may be withdrawn at any time.

In the country park there is an information center and nature reserve, day fishing is available and permits can be obtained from the Warden's office.

The fishing on the lake is course fishing and species of fish include,

• Brean
• Carp
• Cat Fish
• Roach
• Tench.

You will need a National Rod Licence which can be bought to cover short periods from most Post Offices. Bring your own tackle as hiring is not always a practical proposition.

Please return all fish to the water unharmed. Note that most canal banks are leased to Angling Clubs thus denying fishing opportunities to offcomers

Wildlife

If you walk or cycle along the canals, you will find yourselves close to a rich landscape of woods, water, meadows, fields and farmland and you can expect to see the wide varieties of the flora and fauna native to the British Isles.

Consider buying one of the many handbooks available and, if you have a pair of binoculars, bring them too. Remember though, it is illegal to pick wildflowers or disturb nesting birds or other animals

There is a wildlife riverside trail around the country park where you may see such birds as:

• Heron
• Coot
• Moor Hen
• Mallard Ducks
• Grebe
• Cormorants
• Canada Geese
• Mute Swans
• Woodpeckers

The flora and new meadows are a haven for:

• Butterflies
• Dragon Flies
• Beetles
