Cromwell is a beautiful 18-acre spring-fed, tree-lined specimen lake, set in peaceful surroundings just off the A1 in Newark. The lake has many features and varies in depths between three and 18 feet, with prominent gravel bars, silty areas and drop-offs. There are various types of weed in the warmer months, but every peg is fishable and this contributes to the size and health of the fish by supplying a rich, natural food source. The lake is surrounded by beautiful willow, beech, magnolia, Scots pine and cherry trees that provide a haven for wildlife. All in all, the lake and its environment lends itself to a wealth of biodiversity.
