Otley · LS21 1DX
Tom's Pond is a small carp fishing and glamping venue on farmland just outside Otley in West Yorkshire, made up of two adjoining farm ponds beneath the Otley Chevin. Six pegs are available and the water holds carp well into double figures, tench approaching 8lb and plenty of silver fish, so it suits relaxed pleasure sessions rather than match fishing. On-site glamping huts let anglers stay over, with communal toilets, a shower and a small kitchenette for guests. The venue is open seven days a week; booking details and current prices are on tomspond.co.uk, and it is worth ringing ahead because pegs are limited. Check with the fishery for day ticket availability before travelling.
