Two
established and sheltered spring-fed lakes well stocked with plenty of
strains and sizes of carp to 12lbs, also lots of roach, rudd and
goldfish. Located in a secluded valley and the perfect place to relax
and reflect away from the hustle and bustle. Enjoy the tranquil Dorset
countryside and view the wonderful wildlife at first hand. You may see
our two kingfishers or the regular heron visitor and fox, rabbit, and deer if
you are really quiet! We have identified 4 species of bat that feed
near the water at night-time.
Highway
Farm is the ideal destination for an angling holiday or do come down for
the day if you are staying or live nearby.
Don't know how or where to start? Ever wondered why other anglers are

"The two lakes at Highway
Farm offer a good days sport for all levels of angler. For children and
novices there is an abundance of roach and rudd with the odd goldfish
thrown in and plenty of carp if
you are lucky. For more serious anglers the carp grow into double
figures and if you can work out how to catch them you too will go
home with a smile on your face.
No fancy baits are required just a tin of sweetcorn and a few slices of
bread. I am sure we will be back to see you sometime in the
future."
Thanks once again,

"Just a quick note to
thank you for such a warm and friendly welcome at the weekend, the food
was delicious and the surroundings and accommodation, simply
wonderful. We'd love to come back, if you'll have us, to see if we can
catch 'Benson' (the name given to the 17.5lb Carp!!)."

"Hello Pauline and John
just wanted to say a big thank you for the
wonderful stay at Highway Farm, the hospitality was first class and the
fishing was the best entertainment we have ever had! The fish
were in
fantastic condition and were worth the long drive. Look forward to
seeing you both again next year."

"Hi Pauline, made it to your
lakes Tuesday, had a great mornings fishing. I am a member of a carp
syndicate in Oxford, where I live and fish the Thames occasionally and
I must say your lakes were a joy. The fish were in great
condition and even the little roach battled superbly, worth the trip in
every way. I hope to visit again when in the area. Steve Clap.
best wishes Steve"
