About

Discover the tranquility of our scenic fishing lakes, harmoniously nestled amidst the beauty of nature. These man-made lakes stand as a testament to the rich history of the 18th-century parklands, offering a serene escape for fishing enthusiasts. We welcome anglers of all ages and experience levels to fish at the lake.

Burton Constable Holiday Park is first and foremost a holiday park with beautiful lakes as part of its peaceful setting. While the lakes are an ornamental feature, experienced anglers are welcome to fish in them.
