About the water

Clatworthy Reservoir lies in the Brendon Hills in West Somerset, on the edge of Exmoor National Park. The reservoir covers 130 acres and reaches depths of up to 96ft. It is stocked with rainbow and brown trout, with fishing available from both the bank and boats. Boats are available only to anglers, and wheelchair-accessible boats are among the facilities listed. The fishing lodge is the collection point for catch-return forms. Toilets are provided at both the lodge and the picnic area, with wheelchair-accessible toilets also available. The car park is located at the picnic area. Visitors can follow a five-mile route around the reservoir’s perimeter or choose a shorter woodland trail. The surrounding habitat includes steep bracken banks and ancient woodland, supporting wildflowers, bats, birds and more than 1,000 invertebrate species. General visitor opening times vary through the year, starting at 8am and closing between 3.30pm and 8pm depending on the month. All visitors must leave before the advertised closing time. These hours are explicitly separate from the reservoir’s fishing dates and times, so anglers should check the fishing information rather than use the general visitor timetable to plan a session.
