About the water

Churn Pool Fishery is an exclusive-use carp lake at Cerney Wick, near Cirencester, in the Cotswold Water Park. The water covers around 4.5 acres and accommodates groups of up to five anglers, as well as families and smaller groups. Non-fishing groups can also book the venue. Originally dug for gravel in the late 1970s, the lake holds mirror and common carp, with fish exceeding 40lb. Anglers can fish around the lake from swims cut into the bankside vegetation. Features include overhanging trees, reed-lined bays, shallow gravel margins, lily pads and water inlets. Underwater terrain includes gravel bars, plateaux, troughs and silty gullies. The Anglers Outhouse is included in the booking price and provides kitchen facilities, a fridge freezer, bait freezer, running water and toilets. There is also a barbecue, chimnea, lakeside walled social area and picnic tables. A two-bedroom lodge can be hired for an additional fee, with a double room, twin room, lounge, kitchen, shower, toilet and decking. Entrance gates are lockable, with perimeter fencing, CCTV and security lighting. Anglers must use the supplied unhooking mats, nets and slings, and retention slings are prohibited. A valid rod licence is required, with a maximum of three rods per angler and no unattended rods. Dogs are welcome provided owners clean up after them. Booking enquiries can be made by telephone.
