About the water

Birch House Lakes is a family-run coarse fishery established 35 years ago on a former arable farm in Derbyshire. The venue is situated between Brailsford and Ednaston within 25 acres of natural and landscaped scenery, with the Brailsford Brook flowing through the heart of the site. It offers 10 well-stocked fishing lakes covering approximately 15 acres of water, providing a peaceful environment for solitary pleasure anglers and those participating in club competitions. The fishery typically operates seven days a week, though winter hours include seasonal closing days on Mondays and Tuesdays. On-site facilities feature Hut 52, a dedicated café serving breakfast and hot food, with match orders taking priority during busy event periods. Visitors are encouraged to check the match calendar and on-site noticeboards upon arrival, as several lakes—including Kingfisher, Mallard, and Horseshoe—are frequently reserved for matches. The venue is accessed via Derby Lane, located just off the A52 between Derby and Ashbourne. TACKL TIP: Gates close promptly at the advertised time; ensure you leave the site punctually to avoid incurring additional staff charges for late exit. Check the venue’s match calendar and the noticeboard on arrival: a lake or section may be reserved for a match, and anglers who set up on a reserved water may be asked to move.
