Experience the thrill of diving in like an otter from our newly upgraded jetty into the expansive lake, perfect for canoeing, kayaking, and various water sports to keep your family entertained for hours. This stream-fed lake ensures continuous fresh water flow throughout the year, with a fishing jetty for angling enthusiasts.
While there is a safe shallow entry point, most of the lake is over 10 feet deep, so all water activities are at your own risk.
The lake has been stocked with fish, but wild otters have been spotted, making fishing more challenging.

Did you know we have our very own Otter Pool?
A charming path from the courtyard takes you through a five-acre field, winding its way to the private lake. At the end of the path, there's a cozy seating area perfect for otter-themed barbecues and picnics, offering stunning views of the Torridge Estuary and Bideford. Unfortunately, due to some otterly tricky circumstances, it has not been possible to make the lakeside fully accessible.

I am delighted to inform you that Putsborough beach have purchased 2 beach wheelchairs which are now available to use free of charge. They would welcome a donation for a local cause of their choosing but it is not essential. Thank you to Rob and Sarah Tucker for making Putsborough accessible to all.

The collective effort by so many businesses since our group meeting is very much appreciated by the Access For All team. Together we are making fantastic positive changes which certainly makes me smile 😃
