Bury Hill Fisheries is part of a 200-year-old estate set in a beautiful, secluded valley in the heart of the Surrey Hills. An oasis of calm amid the bustle of the busy, nearby towns of Dorking and Redhill, and just 40 minutes drive from London, the lakes are tucked away along a rhododendron-lined drive on a wooded hillside that drops down to the water, leaving the outside world behind.
Famous since the 1960s, when it was frequented by some of Britain’s leading anglers, the Old Lake has matured into a wonderful pleasure fishery enhanced by the addition of three other lakes each offering a different type of fishing for a variety of fish sizes and species.
Whether you want to catch a pedigree English carp of over 40 lb, large numbers of bream and tench to specimen size, a double-figure zander, huge true crucian carp, specimen roach, rudd and perch or big pike, you’ll find it all available at Old Bury Hill’s lakes.
The four lakes totaling 20 acres offer a wide choice of fishing styles and surroundings, from intimate swims bordered by lily pads where you can float fish amid the bubbles of feeding fish, to distant casting for reel-churning runs and arm-aching battles with countless lively carp.
There’s a world of different ways of fishing to be enjoyed in magnificent surroundings and comfortable swims, all of which makes Bury Hill the favourite fishery for many of our anglers.
Just 20 miles from central London and easily accessed by public transport, the fishery is disabled friendly and permanently staffed, making it ideal for youngsters who, together with OAPs and disabled anglers, benefit from concessionary prices. Bury Hill has a large car park just a short walk from the lakes, along with heated ladies and gents toilets, to make your stay comfortable. There is an on-site tackle and bait shop and bailiffs on hand to help you choose the best areas to fish and to ensure that the security of the lakes is maintained. Whilst we no longer have a café facility on-site, we do now offer a mobile refreshment service offering a choice of homemade sandwiches, drinks and snacks, which you can order by phone for delivery directly to your fishing peg.
