Berry Barns has two lakes covering two-and-a-half
acres. Not only are they a wonderful scenic addition to
the farm, with their waters reflecting the moods of the
sky and the countryside, they are also purpose-built for
fishing.

Quiet reflection, still water
The lakes were created on a gentle slope falling
away from the farm. On one side the lakes look over the
rolling Devon countryside, and on the other Dartmoor’s
brooding tors dominate the skyline.
Wildlife abounds. Various kinds of ducks and water birds
are regular visitors, including the occasional little
egret, and kingfishers can often be seen diving into the
water. Dragonflies and damselflies hawk over the water
in the summer sun, while fish in the lakes rise silently
to the surface to snatch unwary mayflies.

Peaceful fishing in beautiful countryside
The lakes are very well stocked and fishing is restricted to residents only:
there are no day tickets. If you book a cottage at Berry Barns, you book your
own fishing lakes – at no extra charge! Whether you want the simple pleasure
of coarse fishing for fun, or the more challenging action of specimen or match
fishing, the Berry Barns lakes will provide you with a good day’s sport.
