Some of the ten pools are geared solely towards match anglers. One is designed purely for those new to fishing who are looking for smoother results to start.
Besides specimen carp, the list of fish available is endless with all pools well stocked.
All pools are very well kept and surrounded by the most natural of backdrops, with some even near the many caravans based on the site.
Boasting a cafeteria which seats upwards of 100 anglers, it also doubles up as a corporate event venue.
Toilet facilities are available for men and women while there are adequate facilities for disabled anglers. There’s also a well-stocked tackle shop onsite featuring everything you need.
Low-cost day tickets are available, and the site is open all year round.
Wilden Pool
Set between Kidderminster and Stourport-on Severn, Wilden Pool can be found in a beautiful natural area, welcoming all types of anglers.
Covering 7.5 acres, the pool itself is five acres and boasts a brilliant 50 pegs in total.
All pegs are well spaced, and a full-length central island alongside well-established reed beds sits neatly in-between.
With the pool referred to in two sections, Section A has 25 pegs, which is the car park side of the site and claims an average depth of five to six feet. Section B has the remaining 25 pegs and is the far bank side offering six to nine feet depths.
Claiming to have no favoured side or indeed peg, each day of fishing is different at Wilden Pool!
Fishing is open all year round at the site with silverfish predominate in winter and carp the highlight of the summer.
All-day ticket prices are kept tremendously low, and anglers can even opt for a night fishing ticket.
Though the pool doesn’t have much in the way of facilities, it’s nested in a most peaceful of surroundings with kingfishers, woodpeckers, and many other bird types.
If it’s carp fishing you’re after, with catches up to 30 Ib, this is a lovely site to visit.
Eastfield Fisheries
Situated in the heart of the Worcestershire countryside in Kempsey, Eastfield Fisheries aims to deliver the best coarse fishing experience to all anglers from dawn till dusk.

34 individual pegs are available to reserve with one to 13 on the Malvern View Lake and 14 to 34 on the Bredon View Lake.
Now open all year round, the unique design of the lakes ensures that the width of the water varies from the peg position to the bank, hence each pegs individuality! This is an influential factor for many anglers fishing here as it adds a greater variety to the day.
Two rods per angler are allowed with primary catches carp, plus bream and roach. Standard ticket days rates are exceptionally low for all anglers.
Though a more recent site, established in 2012, the facilities here are high-quality with free secure car parking, a good level of disabled access all-round the site, toilet facilities and the ability to bring your own BBQs or use the Fishermans lodge which offers hot and cold food and drinks.

Elmbridge is a beautiful rural location, situated near Droitwich and offers anglers the chance to make the most of their fishing with six stunning lakeside fishing lodges available to book.

A second pool has 40 pegs to choose from covering two acres in total. This is the fishery specimen pool. Depths here are around the 12-foot mark, therefore, making them home to sizeable carp. Night fishing is also allowed here.
The third Elmbridge pool is their largest with 43 pegs. Hugely popular, it’s mainly used as the open contest lake and for private club bookings.
