About The Folly Lakes
Two exclusive-booking lakes on the A15 bypass at Glinton, north of Peterborough. The main lake is a carp water, with a 48lb fish reported for the 2026 season and numbers of thirties. The small lake is a predator water stocked mainly with catfish. Formerly a closed syndicate, The Folly now takes three and four night exclusive bookings, so the whole water is yours for the session.
