About Bulwell Hall Park Lakes
Bulwell Hall Park Lakes are the fishing ponds in Bulwell Hall Park, a large public park about five miles north of Nottingham city centre with open grassland, wooded trails, streams, a cafe and a children's playground. The lakes are a popular local coarse fishing spot and also support plenty of birdlife, including kingfishers, mute swans and tufted duck. Fishing is on a catch and release basis, and anyone aged 13 or over needs a valid Environment Agency rod licence. Ticket or club arrangements on the ponds are not clearly published, so check locally or with Nottingham City Council for current rules before fishing. Expect an easy, family-friendly park water rather than a commercial fishery.
