Grove Lake

Grove Lake is a pleasant, well landscaped fishery situated just off Grove Road close to Wickhambreaux.

The approach is down a long, gravelled track leading down to our 3 car parking areas.

The gate at the top of the track is to be kept shut but not locked. The three gates giving access to our car parking must be kept shut and locked.

The lake is fairly shallow, up to 5ft max and contains a good head of carp, specimen roach, rudd, tench and gudgeon.

Directions

Access to the track that leads to the lake is via Grove Road, 1.5 miles north of Wickhambreaux & 1 mile south of Grove.

Please note, as of 30 July 2025 you must sign in before fishing at Grove Lake and sign out when leaving (you will also need your membership number). The book is located in a cabinet hanging in the toilet which is located at the left hand end of the lake.
