The Q Lake is PBF's members-only specimen Carp and Catfish Lake. The lake is stocked with Carp to 35lb and Wels Catfish to 58lb.

The unique design of the lake allows anglers to fish from the central island.  This design ensures that peg conflict is minimised as anglers are fishing away from each other rather than towards, as found on traditionally designed lakes.

The lake was built is 2008 and has matured very well.  In early 2012 over 3,500 trees were planted around the lake as well as on the central island including; Oak, Beech, Rowan, Cherry, Silver Birch, Willow, Ash and many others and it is an official "Diamond Jubilee Woodland" for the Queens Anniverary.

Showering facilities are provided for those fishing the Q Lake as well as charging points just in case you need to charge your phone. There are Pizza, Chinese & Indian takeaway services that deliver to the complex.

Pegs may be pre-booked, which we recommend to avoid disappointment, or alternatively you can just turn up and see what is available.
