Mushroom Ponds consists of three lakes, although two of them are slightly joined. 

The two far ponds have been present for decades but have in the last eight years been deepened and more effectively stocked. The newest pond adjoining the mushroom farm has been established for 12 years, it has a mushroom shaped island in the centre which is circled by a deeper moat with shallower areas with reeds and floating plants either side of each peg.

All of the ponds have been well stocked with a full range of course fish, comprising all the carp species except grass carp, with many specimens in double weight figures. Bream, Chub, Roach, Rudd, Perch, Tench, Ide and Orf are also present, in addition a few Barbel have been introduced for added interest. The waters are not over stocked and this has allowed the fish to develop to good sizes.

The established ponds are in a secluded setting among natural countryside: they are linked and between them have over fifty pegs. The surrounding land is level with well-maintained grass so facilitating pond side parking for those who are physically challenged.

All the ponds have variable floors, presenting anglers with a challenge: depths alternate with some areas in each pond being over 3 m in depth, and the rest varying between 1 and 2 m.

General vegetation around the ponds is varied and interesting, providing a range of habitats for both fish and wild life alike. The established ponds have a good population of water voles that provide interest and entertainment between catches!

There are toilet facilities in a building by the house and the cafe at the end of the lane serves hot and cold drinks and sandwiches
