About Fisherman's friend

Help us to restore and maintain fishing points around the beautiful Bosherston Lily Ponds.

Come and work on the beautiful Stackpole estate where you will help restore fishing points alongside the famous Bosherston Lily pools.  Tasks will include clearing scrub and removing fallen trees from the lake.  There will also be an opportunity to have a go at fishing for some of the large Pike that frequent the water.  Help and advice will be given by experienced angling coaches and tackle will be provided if you don’t have any.  

About the accommodation

Sitting at the heart of the Stackpole Activity Centre on the Stackpole Estate, this converted barn has been recently refurbished and offers large bunkhouse accommodation. There are two separate corridors of rooms upstairs, full kitchen facilities, a large communal eating area, games room with pool, table tennis and bathroom facilities downstairs.

Facilities: drying room, garden.

Bedding: pillow, duvet and mattress cover provided.

Notes for guests

What to bring: You are welcome to bring your own fishing tackle for the angling activity, or we can lend you some instead.  Please bring sturdy footwear and waterproofs.
