That looks lovely, always on the lookout for sites where hubby can fish, does anyone know if the fishing is any good?

It's good on its day....But for me Oakmere nr Skipwith is a far better fishing venue that has tourers on and not far away

I notice they only take children over 12, I wonder if they will accept a well behaved 10 year as well - might have to ask.

I think you have been lucky with the weather, we are going at Easter and I am not expecting too much sun. Its pouring down here at the moment!

The photos are fantastic and the site looks like heaven, saved to my virtual brochure and would be well worth the 5+ hours journey for us.

We're coming down to York in July for nearly 10 days and have already booked our site, but from what I've heard from friends/family, York and the surrounding area is brilliant so I think this may be our first of many visits to the area.

Glad you had such a good weekend x

Mmm, we find this with quite a few sites with fishing Tracey. A lot of them only accept adults. You can understand why they dont want screaming children charging around the fishing lakes but its a shame for those who have sensible well behaved kids who enjoy fishing with their Dad.

I would pretend my 10 year old is 12 if he wasnt so small. In fact looking at my 12 year old they probably wouldnt think he is old enough either!

Oh well, maybe some time we might be able to go there without the kids.

After reading on the forum about Conifer Lake and not visiting for a few years now we went to have a look on Sat.....well Oh my god the place has changed and for the better!!!........... The site is spotless and a great setting....the lake has been cleared making it a much better as before it was wilderness. I could not believe the place was empty  and the weather was great too...I presume this is down to it being a newish site......   Prefect setting if it was a little further away from me............ we will be fishing again though
