PENDLE VIEW
Pendle View Fisheries is located in an area of outstanding beauty within Lancashire’s famous Ribble Valley and lies just off the A59 by-pass, nestling amongst some of the most spectacular scenery to be found in the rural heart of the North West with stunning views of Pendle Hill and Wiswell Fold.
Since being purchased by a family consortium in 2001, Pendle View has gone from strength to strength. Much work has been done by the owners to transform not only fishing but also the site amenities and as a result the fishery is now considered to be one of the premier sites in the North West attracting anglers, women and children from all corners of the UK.
In addition to a new office/reception area, Pendle View also offers an anglers restroom and holiday accommodation in purpose-built heated log cabins which make them ideal for an angling break any time of year.

7.5 acre coarse lake

As part of the improvements which have already been caried out at Pendle View Fisheries, all anglers, both coarse and fly, can now park much closer to their chosen fishing spot following the construction of a road around the whole site which reduces the need to walk from the car park with heavy tackle.
Pendle View is also keen to encourage youngsters to take up angling. All responsible children are welcome at the venue although those under 12 need to be supervised and have the proper equipment. Indeed, the fishery insists that all carp anglers have a decent sized landing net, an unhooking mat, and use clinque or similar when necessary.
The fishery is open from 7.00am until 9.00pm seven days a week, 24 hours a day, but those anglers wishing to night fish are requested to ring in advance to check availability. Match bookings cost £5.00 per peg and should be made in advance by contacting the fishery direct on 01254 822208 so that pegs can be reserved.
