Shearwater Lake Fisheries Guides, Longleat Estate

Shearwater Lake is a picturesque water located on the Longleat Estate near Warminster in Wiltshire. This large expanse covers around 36 acres and is set within stunning mature woodland, providing a peaceful backdrop for anglers. The lake is a traditional English venue known for its mixed fishing but with a solid head of carp that average mid doubles with some pushing towards the upper twenties. The lake has a natural layout with gently shelving margins, occasional lily beds, and wide open water that encourages carp to move and feed across the lake. Well maintained banks make access easy and there are plenty of spacious swims dotted around the perimeter.

Facilities include ample parking areas nearby, maintained footpaths, and clean public toilets within the country estate grounds. The tranquil setting and classic feel of Shearwater make it a favourite for anglers who enjoy traditional big water challenges in beautiful surroundings.
