Space and freedom to fish

Covering 65 Acres, Drift is large enough to provide you with that ‘big water’ feel without being overwhelming in size, offering plenty of space and freedom to explore.

Plenty of peace and quiet with lots of bank with back-cast room to try, secluded bays and prominent drop-offs into deepwater to fish and explore.

Quiet water, naturally

You won’t find hoards of dog walkers. You won’t be disturbed by windsurfers, sailing dinghies or kite surfers buzzing past you, because there aren’t any. Just the occasional fellow angler, the odd bird watcher — and the wildlife.

“A unique environment — calm, spacious, unspoilt.”
