The full rundown on Upham Farm Carp Ponds
Upham Farm has been fishing since the early 1970s, when spring-fed Pond 1 was cleared and Ponds 2, 3 and 4 were dug; Ponds 5 and 6 followed in the 1980s with tench introduced, and in 2008 a much bigger Specimen Lake 7 was built, opening in 2009.
It's a genuinely varied day-ticket complex on one site — smaller beginner ponds (2, 3, 6) sit alongside bigger mixed waters (4, 5) and the specimen-carp Lake 7, which the official site says now holds over 50 specimen fish, headed by a 32lb 8oz common carp.
Third-party aggregated Google reviews (via an Exa library listing) describe it as a 'beautiful fishery' with a small on-site caravan site and a helpful owner; one 2023 reviewer said they'd 'been coming back so often it's unreal... love it,' while also noting Pond 7 is 'a very hard but satisfying' specimen challenge.

Upham Farm Carp Ponds FAQs
How many ponds are there at Upham Farm?
Seven — Ponds 1 to 6 plus Specimen Lake 7, opened in 2009.
What's the biggest carp caught at Upham Farm?
The fishery's own site states the best fish from Specimen Lake 7 is a 32lb 8oz common carp.
Is there somewhere to stay on site?
Yes — reviewers mention a small on-site caravan site with a handful of hardstanding pitches, bookable separately from day-ticket fishing.
Where's the nearest tackle shop?
We haven't found a tackle shop on site at Upham Farm Carp Ponds. Sort your bait and end tackle before you travel, as there's no guarantee of anything close by near Farringdon.
Do I need to bring food?
We haven't seen any food on site, so bring your own grub and drinks. A flask and a stove (where allowed) make a long day much better.
Are there toilets on site?
Yes — the fishery lists on-site toilets.
Is there parking, and how close is it to the swims?
Yes — large car park. Walks to the further pegs can be a trek, so a barrow helps.
What's the postcode for the sat nav?
EX5 2HZ. EX5 2HZ/EX5 2JA covers Upham Farm near Farringdon — different public listings give slightly different postcodes for the same entrance off the A3052, about four miles from M5 Junction 30, so follow the fishery's own driving directions rather than relying on satnav alone.
How much is a ticket?
Day ticket, Ponds 1–6 (2 rods): £12.00; Day ticket, Specimen Lake 7 (third-party listing): £12.00; 24-hour ticket (third-party listing): £22.00.

Bait, rigs & seasons
How we'd fish Specimen Lake 7
carp
A bigger bed of bait at range
On wide, open water the fish move about a lot — a decent bed of bait at range holds a passing group long enough to get a bite.
- Find a clean, hard spot with a marker float and clip up so every cast lands on it.
- Spread the bait with a spod or throwing stick — little and often.
- Mix boilies, pellet and particles so there's always something left for the fish to graze.
- Match the hookbait to the freebies.
carp
Zigs in the warmer months
In clear, deep water carp often sit up in the layers on warm days. A zig is the only way to get a bait in front of them.
- Start at half depth and move up or down a foot at a time until you get bites.
- Black or foam hookbaits work well on bright days.
- Keep it simple — no freebies needed.
tench
Method or maggot feeder for tench
Tench love margins and weedy patches. A feeder puts a small, tight patch of bait right by the hookbait.
- Fish 10–20 yards out, or tight to the cover where it's safe to land fish.
- Recast every 10–15 minutes early on to build the swim.
- Short hooklink with a dead red maggot, corn or a 8mm wafter.
tench
Lift method float for tench
Tench feed with their heads down and tip baits up — the lift method shows that bite as the float rising and lying flat.
- Fish the margin at dawn with a straight waggler, locked by a single big shot 2–3in from the hook.
- Rake or lightly bait the swim with hemp, corn and maggot.
- Strike when the float lifts or lies flat. Bread, corn or worm on a size 12–14.
