Cleveley Bank Lane • Forton • Nr. Cleveley Mere is a beautiful, peaceful 23-acre lake set in a private nature reserve and is regarded as one of the finest smaller trout fly-fishing venues in the north west of England. It lies just south of the Lake District in the scenic Wyre Valley, enclosed by fields, woodlands and the River Wyre, with magnificent views of the neighbouring fells and adjoining Lune Valley and Trough of Bowland.

We checked the weather forecast for 15 August and decided to delay our carp day till the following day as heavy rain was due. The rain did come and it rained heavily all evening so when we arrived at the lake on Friday morning we found the lake high with cold brown water. some number of ladies could not make the change of day so Chris, Barbara, myself and Bob were the only ones there. It was obvious from the start that it was going to be a hard day because we had a problem to get the carp to feed and only single carp were cruising by so no competition with the shoals. The swans and cygnets stayed with us free of charge offerings all day and were a real nuisance. (flyfishingtuition.co.uk)

We arrived at Fylde Trout Fishery around lunch time and had a chat with some guys who were just leaving, the news was not good ‘it is a bit tough today’ were the kinds of comments being made. Looking at the last days report it seemed like the trout were not being quite as crazy as we’d hoped so after a fast sandwich we made our way to the far side of the lake and attached our lures. Wendy a Black and Gold Humungus, myself a Yellow Dancer, both nothing like a fish but intended to pulse and grab their attention and hopefully a ‘take’. (seafishingandwalking.co.uk)

What may be more romantic—or, if you’re a child, more thrilling—than being tucked away in a cozy treehouse enclosed by beautiful woodlands? Britain has fallen in love with treehouses as an environmentally friendly/unconventional alternative to the conventional hotel room, and they’re to be found in every part of the country. If you like your rusticity on the civilized side, you may be able to decide a treehouse on the grounds of a country house hotel that gives you access to its buildings and restaurants. Or if you like splendid separation, go for a much more remote, self-contained unit. (fodors.com)

My wife booked this as an anniversary treat and what a treat it was. Totally great place to stay for some rest and relaxation. Stayed here for two nights with my wife and 10 month old and we loved every second of it. From the great welcome with the ducks which my son loved to the surprisingly friendly and useful staff everything was perfect. Plenty to do to waste away the days as well as the bikes and the long walks. Such a shame the weather did not perk up enough for us to get out onto the lakes but everything was spot on! Wish we may have stayed longer but will not be too long before we come back. (bookatreehouse.com)

At 2 acres Bank House is only a small water, however it was carefully planned and intended with fly fishing and wildlife in mind. A total of 12 small islands are scattered over the water giving the fishery a network of slow swims and pools. The water goes evenly around the lake before exiting from one of three outlets. That means that there are few if any dead regions where the water can warm in summer and become low in oxygen. (3ws.co.uk)
