Welcome to Ravenfield Ponds
Ravenfield Ponds coarse fishery is part of Ravenfield Park which situated near the village of Old Ravenfield, near Rotherham in South Yorkshire. The Park and fishery are situated in a secluded valley that makes for a peaceful day’s fishing, or a quiet walk away from traffic noise, with beautiful scenery and a large range of flora and fauna, some unique to the site.
The fishery is made up of six fishing lakes that contain tench, crucian carp, bream, ide, roach, rudd, perch, gudgeon, eels, mirror carp and common carp. There are several car parks on site and vehicular access is by key only, making it very safe car parking.
While three of the lakes hold a variety of predominantly silver fish there is also a lake that is devoted to specimen carp, with a limited number of night fishing permits available. A further pond is stocked with only tench, crucian carp and rudd while a sixth pond has a high stock density, holding a large number of small carp in addition to silver fish.
More details can be found in video form on the Gallery page.
