Ashdown Forest Fly Fishery

Ashdown Forest Fly Fishery sits on Boringwheel Lake, a roughly four-and-a-half-acre water near Nutley in East Sussex with origins dating to medieval times.

The lake was originally excavated to power a mill that bored cannons for the British fleet, and later served a grain mill that still stands at the adjacent Boringwheel Mill Farm.

The fishery is stocked with rainbow and brown trout and offers eight fishing platforms positioned around a central island. Flat-bottomed boats are also available for hire.

Access from the A22 is straightforward from both north and south via Cackle Street, with parking close to the water's edge. The site address is Cackle Street, Nutley, TN22 3DU.
