Meadowlands Fishery

Reviewed By Jamespreecefishing - Coventry, United Kingdom

Been going to meadowlands for at least 17 years now and all I can say is that it is absolutely amazing day fishing you will not be disappointed. But went Wednesday just gone (25/11/20) fished the pole at 7meters and it was fish after fish. I was using red and white maggot on the hook and using castors and maggot for my loose feed. I was targeting roach bream perch and tench and it didn’t disappoint. The staff are so friendly and welcoming I can’t wait to head back tomorrow for another arm aching session. #tightlines

Brandon Marsh Nature Reserve

Brandon Marsh Nature Centre is the headquarters of the Warwickshire Wildlife Trust. Set in 220 acres, the Reserve, consists of large pools created by gravel extraction. The Visitor Centre is a great place to visit including a Tea Room and well stocked gift shop. Around the Centre you'll find the orchard, mouse maze, mini-beast homes, bird watching hides, recycled garden and a newly designed sensory garden (link to sensory garden project page) as well as an under-cover picnic area. Then it's off to the Onyx Nature Trail which guides you around the wildlife habitats of the nature reserve. The Reserve This reserve contains large areas of pools created by gravel extraction. It consists of reedbeds, willow carr, grassland and woodland. It is outstanding for birds and there are seven bird hides throughout the reserve. Gift Shop and Badgers Tearoom At the end of your visit what could be nicer than a cup of tea or snack in our 'Badgers' Tea Room and a leisurely browse around our gift shop. The shop is well stocked with animal homes, bird seed, bird feeders and an extensive range of gifts and books. The tearoom serves a variety of hot and cold beverages, fresh cakes, and a comprehensive menu of snacks and meals. The Education Centre Brandon Marsh Nature Centre includes the Lafarge Education Centre - a purpose-built classroom, home to School Visits to Brandon for a variety of curriculum-related activities. We also have children's activities during the school holidays, and even Really Wild Birthday Parties! For grown-ups we also have a programme of Events and guided walks. The Sensory Garden After 1500 volunteer hours, the first chapter in the story of how our garden grew is complete with the official opening of the Sensory Garden at Brandon Marsh Visitor Centre on 19th May 2012.

Although the hides are not open at the moment (COVID), there are plenty of opportunities to spot some interesting birds - shovellers, long-tailed tits, siskins etc... I also saw a deer in the woodland on my last visit. There is a walking trail for children to follow as well as a gift shop. The cafe was open for hot drinks and cakes to be consumed outside. A lovely place and I look forward to my next visit.
