The Wheelyboat provides disabled users the dignity of their own independence: it makes the entire water accessible, is simplicity itself to board via the roll-on, roll-off bow ramp and the level deck provides access to every corner of the boat including the helm.

Our top class Trout Fishery is situated within the grounds of Blenheim Palace. The picturesque Park provides a unique setting for trout fishing and its rolling landscape and Bladon Lake created by ‘Capability’ Brown. The Lake complex extends to 21 acres of water with a bank length of a mile. The waters are stocked with full tailed Rainbow Trout weighing up to 8lbs together with a few Browns. The Lake is open all year round (except Christmas Day).

The fishery is split into 4 beats known as Rough Piece, Bladon, The Lince and The Gardens. All these beats can be fished under one ticket although The Gardens can only be fished after 5pm.
