Eridge
Park is a 6,000-acre private Estate on the Kent/Sussex border. The
estate has been in the hands of the Nevill family since the Norman
conquest and has a rich and fascinating history in its own right.
Set in the heart of an area of Outstanding Natural
Beauty, Eridge Park is an island of peace and tranquillity in an
increasingly stressful world. Syndicate members have exclusive
access to the lake with secure parking and private facilities within
100 yards of the lake. |

|
| The
fishery is a 14 acre estate lake created in the 17th
century by damming the confluence of two streams within the Estate
and guaranteeing superb water quality. The continuous flow gives
excellent oxygen levels, even in the hottest summers. The water is
very rich in natural food and provides a superb environment in which
to grow large and healthy carp. The lake has had much of its
original stock of tench removed in March 2000,we plan to repeat this
operation every fifth year to remove all unwanted fish. |

 |
We
have added 40 more twenties to the existing stock supplied by Mark
Simmonds, which are renound for their fast growth rates. The fish
were stocked in 2000 at between 10 and 14 lbs. These fish are now
twenties. We stocked a further 24 twenties that year which are now
approaching the 30lb mark. We have also added 6 25lb plus commons
and mirrors and have 7 known thirties to complement them. The stock
comes to a total of 200. Any double figure carp will be removed in
the closed season of the 2006/2007 season. |
| |
|
| The
membership is limited to 50 experienced anglers and is available on
an annual season ticket basis only. No day tickets are available.
The cost for the 2006/2007 season is £500.00, with a new members
joining fee of £50.00. Given the superb location and the growth
potential of the stock, this will be an increasingly sought after
ticket over the coming years. If you can find a better complex that
Eridge Park, grab it with both hands and take out a life membership. |
