Clean , serene and well kept. The experience is a unique one. Any one can walk in and hire a reel for fishing. Fishing line, bait, bucket was provided at 10£ per reel. The trout fish here are kept in man made treated water. One can fish out as many and take them for cleaning in house or have them over lunch prepared by their in house restaurant. This cost is 5£ per fish. The fish and chips at the restaurant attracts an additional menu price less the fish cost to be paid. Washroom available on site. Parking is ample and safe. Good day out spot. The restaurant takes the last orders by 3.45pm and close sharp at 5pm. Worth the ride , enjoyed my experience.

We visited Kilnsey Park on the second day of Eid with four families, including young kids and babies. A massive thank you to Brad, who was absolutely brilliant! He was incredibly helpful and patient, taking the time to explain the pricing clearly to every single family member. He made sure we all knew exactly what activities the young kids and the adults could do, and he even gave us fish food and explained everything so well. His excellent service made our family Eid outing so special!
