Fishing lake

  • Quiet, secluded and rural site on 10 acres of fenland
  • One well-stocked fishing lake
  • Shop, bus stop and local pub all within a few minutes' stroll
Peaceful and with great fishing is how the folk at Ashleigh Lakes sum their pleasant place up – if you're after angling in a quiet and secluded countryside location, bag it here. Family run, Ashleigh is a small, secluded and level site between Peterborough, Spalding and Wisbech in the Lincolnshire Fens. It has one catch and release fishing lake within a minute or two's walk, stuffed with roach and rudd as well as mirror, common and ghost carp. You can fish all the day – and night – long if you wish, either with a day fishing ticket or a 24-hour one; just make sure to bring a valid licence or pick one up at the village post office when you arrive. Two rods are allowed per person. This is a wildlife haven too if your tastes tend more towards nature spotting, with foxes, hares, rabbits, deer and many bird species all roaming or fluttering about... or if you'd just like to amble about or sunbathe, the hedgerows keep the site nicely sheltered from the Fenland winds. Around the region, Ashleigh is 25 minutes' drive from Spalding and Peterborough, 30 from Wisbech and 45 from the biggest nature reserve in the country at The Wash. Amenities include washing-up, toilet and shower facilities all in the corner of the site, together with a chemical disposal point. The village post office is 50 metres from Ashleigh's entrance, as is the local bus stop – although if you ask nicely/are a tad fatigued after a Fens day hiking or cycling, the driver will often drop you off right outside.

Powered grass tent, caravan or trailer tent site

Liked: Nice and quiet site, friendly team checking in on us to make sure we had everything we needed. We had no issues but the toilet block needed a bit of a clean but not putting this in the disliked as at the end of the day it had a toilet and a really hot shower in it so did what it was meant to do!

Would not stay there again because the road to the site is terrible.

Liked: Completely on our own and pitched next to the toilet block.
Hot water.
Owner v helpful in pitching us up due to torrential rain earlier in the day.

Disliked: Road to the site (not the access road) dangerous and scary.
Toilet block in desperate need of an upgrade, but the owner did say the site "wasn't really open yet".

From the manager: As the owner of this site, I am really sorry for your upset. The manager of the site has advised me that it was no member of staff, nor other campers, that spoiled your visit.

Apparently the culprit was a day fisherman. The manager and I know who it was (CCTV) and they will be advised that they are banned from my site.

Please come try us again for a free night.

Liked: Friendly owner. Lovely field. Very convenient electric hook-ups. Plenty of bins. Easy to use chemical emptying point and same for the waste water.

Local attractions

As it's the Fens, this is nicely level land around here, just the ticket for gentle walks and bike rides around the local area. As a first stop, amble or have a short pedal along to the Elizabethan Centre a third of a mile away, for bowls, badminton, a pool table or (and) nattering with locals over a cold pint. The local badminton team play most Mondays and Wednesdays and guests are most welcome to join in during their stay. By car, get along to Spalding for an extensive shopping session at the Springfield Shopping Outlet, followed by a wander and a rest around the Springfield Festival Gardens. Peterborough's well worth a day out too, for more shopping as well as strolls along the river, and Boston 40 minutes away is home to the 14th-century Boston Guildhall and a museum at the Maud Foster Tower Windmill.
