WWII pillbox defence

1939     -     1945

Monolithic symbols of war-torn periods in the history of Man
often hide some little-known areas of tranquility which still survive in our treasured countryside.

  

One such spot is   LAKEVIEW FISHERIES   located at Landyke Lane, Holwell, Melton Mowbray, LE14 4SX - (NGR SK742252) - TELEPHONE 07970 076033 - adjacent to the Second World War village defence pillbox.

As you will learn from a further scrutiny of their web presence:

"The fishery has two main pleasure lakes -
'POOL' which has 25 pegs and a wide variety of species up to 30lbs.
'OCEAN' an 18 peg pleasure specimen lake with bream up to 12lbs and carp up to 34lbs.
Two match lakes are also available on a rotation system for pleasure fishing every day of the year.
Lakeview have also created an under 14yrs lake that undoubtedly provides an exciting introduction for the young angler in a relatively safe environment.
There are 10 match lakes available strictly on a ‘reservation only’ basis.
All are stocked with Roach, Bream, Barbel, Chub and Carp. In the Marina, Reef, River & Stream the fish are approx. 1lb to 7lb - in the remainder of the lakes they are approx. 1lb to 3lb.
(Please note: children must be supervised by a responsible adult at all times.)
All the lakes are equipped with timber decked platforms from which to fish and all walkways are laid stone paths.
Facilities include a superb Café for breakfasts, lunches etc., a Bait Bar for all your bait requirements, and ample car parking, and toilet facilities."

The facility is open from dawn to dusk 365 days a year.


ALSO locally and in sight of the former WWII RAF aerodrome there is the EYE KETTLEBY LAKES COMPLEX. which is situated in the heart of the Leicestershire countryside at Eye Kettleby, LE14 2TD on the outskirts of Melton Mowbray, (leave Melton Mowbray on the A607 Leicester Rd, for 1 1/2 miles, turn left towards Great Dalby, the location is one mile on the left). They have been established for over ten years and are set in 150 acres of peaceful surroundings and comprise fishing lakes, lodges and a restaurant. The lodges are set in peaceful surroundings with good views of the local countryside and they have the advantage of their own private lake just meters away from the lodge to fish or just take in and enjoy the fresh air.
