Barton & Walton
Pool
A
well established fishery formerly a ballast pit dug
over 100 years ago for the railways. The pool is
approximately 5 acres, two sides dropping quite
quickly to a depth of 10-12ft the opposite sides
sloping gradually to this depth. The pool is
surrounded by mature alder trees and has a large
establish lily bed. The fishery is noted for its
carp and has been restocked following heavy floods
during the 2006/07 having previously contained at
least one 30lb carp and numerous fish in the 20lb
plus category. There is also a respectable head of
roach, tench, bream and pike. Access to the pool is
by a stoned track, through a locked gateway with
parking behind the pegs on one side. Much work has
been done recently to this water to improve the
pegs and pathways around the pool.
