Come and Experience Fishing in the Garden of England.


Welcome to Manor Fisheries. A tranquil setting for outstanding coarse fishing with Carp to 30 lbs+, Catfish to 40 lbs+ plus Tench and Bream to 8 lbs+ in three very well stocked lakes that are over 25 years in age. The lakes are beautifully landscaped and incorporate bays, controlled weed beds, rushes and islands.

Dedicated to members only, with anglers per lake purposely kept to a minimum and comfortable accommodation (with and without fishing) also available, this idyllic setting in the Weald of Kent is perfect for a day, night or a week long escape.

The Mixed Lake 3 (1.6 acres) is limited to 20 anglers and holds a significant number of smaller Carp (4 to 12 lbs+) plus some excellent Tench and Bream (both to over 8lbs+), Roach, Rudd, Crucians and really good Perch. 

This is an ideal water for the angler who wants day fishing in pleasant surroundings without the pressure of trying to catch specimen fish.

Night fishing is also available.

Please note, our lakes are only available to members or those with accommodation bookings.

There are two superb easy access specimen lakes. Lake 1 Carp (1.1 acres) contains many large specimen Carp (Commons and Mirrors) while Lake 2 Carp/Catfish (1.2 acres) contains many specimen Wels Catfish and large Common and Mirror Carp. Both lakes have 9 swims (including doubles) however, we purposely to five anglers ensuring neither lake is ever over crowded.

If you’re looking for a relaxing, yet action-packed fishing break, look no further.... high-quality accommodation for families and for serious anglers who want to target very big fish and get away from their busy lifestyle for few days.
