Yelvertoft
Fishery, Yelvertoft
Brian Faulkner confined to a wheelchair created the 12-peg lake in
1992 and it is the only lake of its kind in the county which was
designed and built
specifically with disabled anglers in mind. All the pegs and
access to them
can be made by both wheelchair bound and visually impaired anglers
alike
as there is a flat and level concrete path which encircles the
whole lake
and leads to each 9 x 8-foot wide timber fishing bay. Another
advantage is
that the ample car park is visible from each peg, to enable
anglers to keep
an eye on their vehicles. The fishery and nature reserve is
administered by the Brian Faulkner Charitable Foundation, a
registered charity.
Access is via Tarry’s End off Elkington Road.
Fishing must be booked in advance – for bookings or further
