Happy Valley was created in 1976 from granite workings. It is, as its name suggests, situated in a private valley with a trout river running around the boundary. The wildlife is abundant. Birds of prey soar over the valley, deer, hares, and kingfishers are often seen as are red squirrels rare now in England. There is a lake side barbeque for picnics. The deepest part of the lake is 7 to 8 ft shallowing to 2-3 Ft in the margins. The lake bed has silt patches and hard bottom and no snags. 

We have stocked over 100 mirrors & commons to over 40lbs with the lake record standing at 47lbs.(not been out since October 2008) Also present are some of the original “Wildies”.
