Welcome to The Manderson Trust
Accessible fishing for everyone
Chain Road, off Overcote Road, Over, Cambridge
Initially established to provide disabled and less able-bodied fishermen and women with easy access to a fishing lake, the complex is now open to everyone who enjoys fishing—whether through a day ticket, season ticket, or family membership.
The lakes are maintained by a dedicated committee of members who voluntarily donate their time and effort to ensure the complex continues to operate smoothly.
Registered Charity No 803587
ADVANCE NOTICE :
The lakes will be CLOSED from 8pm on Thursday 20th August until Saturday 5th September (please note that this may get extended depending on how long the lakes take to refill).
This is to allow us to drain the lakes for lily root removal.
There will be a work party weekend 22nd & 23rd where most of this work will be carried out so we would appreciate any help you can offer and any time you could commit.
Thank you.
