The lowdown
Thorpe Park Lakes is a proper spread of artificial former gravel pits near Thorpe and Chertsey in Surrey. The Environment Agency treats the complex as one lake water body, covering roughly 94.912 hectares — about 0.949 square kilometres. That’s a serious bit of water, not a tiny farm pond tucked behind a hedge.

The full rundown on Thorpe Park Lakes
Thorpe Park Lakes is a proper spread of artificial former gravel pits near Thorpe and Chertsey in Surrey. The Environment Agency treats the complex as one lake water body, covering roughly 94.912 hectares — about 0.949 square kilometres. That’s a serious bit of water, not a tiny farm pond tucked behind a hedge. It sits around 20 miles southwest of central London, too, so it’s handy enough for a day out from the capital.
The mapped mean depth is approximately 2.033 metres, with the water body grid reference listed as TQ0381268308. Named lakes linked with the site include Manor Lake, St Ann’s Lake, Fleet Lake and Abbey Lake. Abbey Lake and Manor Lake have both been photographed as part of the Thorpe Park complex, giving a bit of context to the former gravel-pit setting.
The surroundings are very much mixed-use. Thorpe Park Resort is next door, while Thorpe Lakes Watersports Resort sits close by and describes its wider site as more than 150 acres of lakes and parkland. Wakeboarding, waterskiing, wake surfing and stand-up paddleboarding are all part of the watersports scene, along with an aqua park, cable system and boats. So expect an active, developed setting rather than a quiet little club lake.
Angling or fishing is mentioned in planning documentation for parts of the Thorpe Park Lakes complex. That’s the useful bit, but don’t jump straight in assuming it’s a standard day-ticket venue. There’s no current official fish species list, no lake-by-lake fishing size information and no clear public fishing booking page. No current fishing tariff has been confirmed either, so there’s no quid figure to plan around.
If you’re considering a cheeky session, the first job is making a proper enquiry before loading the car. Ask who controls the exact lake or bank you’re interested in, whether fishing is currently allowed, and what the rules are for tickets, pegs, bait, parking, night fishing and seasons. Fishing facilities such as angler toilets, platforms, bait sales and tackle hire haven’t been confirmed, so pack sensibly rather than banking on a full-service fishery setup.
The site is accessed from the B388 between Thorpe village and Chertsey. Thorpe Lakes Watersports Resort lists a car park, reception and activity facilities, but its published opening hours relate to watersports and vary with the month, daylight and school holidays — they aren’t fishing hours. Virginia Water is the closest named railway access mentioned by the operator, followed by a short taxi journey. And just to keep things bob on, Twynersh Fishing Complex is a separate nearby fishery, not part of Thorpe Park Lakes.
We're not sure on ticket prices here — we couldn't find reliable, up-to-date prices online, so give the fishery a ring or check their own site before you go.

Thorpe Park Lakes FAQs
Is Thorpe Park Lakes the same as Twynersh Fishing Complex?
No. Twynersh Fishing Complex is a separate nearby fishery and shouldn’t be conflated with Thorpe Park Lakes.
Where is Thorpe Park Lakes?
The complex is near Thorpe and Chertsey, beside Thorpe Park Resort, accessed from the B388 between Thorpe village and Chertsey.
Who can I contact about the nearby watersports site?
Thorpe Lakes Watersports Resort publishes the fishery and gives its address as Thorpe Road, Chertsey, Surrey, KT16 8PH.
Is the water body environmentally healthy?
The Environment Agency currently classifies it as poor ecological status in its latest displayed cycle.
Where's the nearest tackle shop?
We haven't found a tackle shop on site at Thorpe Park Lakes. Sort your bait and end tackle before you travel, as there's no guarantee of anything close by near Chertsey.
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?
Not that we've seen listed. The fishery doesn't say on what we've checked, so give them a quick call before you set off.
Is there parking, and how close is it to the swims?
Yes — car park at thorpe lakes watersports resort. Walks to the further pegs can be a trek, so a barrow helps.
What's the postcode for the sat nav?
KT16 8PN.
How much is a ticket?
We haven't got current prices. The fishery doesn't say on what we've checked, so give them a quick call before you set off.
Can I just turn up, or do I need to book?
Thorpe Park Lakes isn't day-ticket water — Manor Lake, St Ann’s Lake, Fleet Lake, Abbey Lake are members or syndicate only.
What fish are in there?
Across the lakes you'll find carp. See each lake tab for which fish live where.
How many lakes are there?
4 — Manor Lake (Not published), St Ann’s Lake (Not published), Fleet Lake (Not published), Abbey Lake (Not published).
Is night fishing allowed?
It depends — No current official night-fishing policy was found.
Can I bring my dog?
Not covered in the rules we've checked. The fishery doesn't say on what we've checked, so give them a quick call before you set off.
Are bait boats allowed?
We haven't seen a bait-boat rule listed. The fishery doesn't say on what we've checked, so give them a quick call before you set off.
Do I need barbless hooks?
Most UK fisheries prefer barbless or micro-barbed hooks — ask on arrival if unsure.
Do I need my own unhooking mat or cradle?
Bring one either way — most fisheries expect it and the fish deserve it.
Is it suitable for disabled anglers?
We haven't seen disabled access listed. The fishery doesn't say on what we've checked, so give them a quick call before you set off.
Do I need a rod licence?
Yes — anyone 13 or over fishing in England and Wales needs an Environment Agency rod licence (or Natural Resources Wales in Wales), on top of your fishery ticket.
When's the best time of year to fish here?
Late spring through autumn is prime for most species. Check our live weather edge for this venue before you go — it updates daily.

Bait, rigs & seasons
How we'd fish Manor Lake
carp
A bigger bed of bait at range
On a big lake with gravel bars, a good bed of bait on or behind a bar gives roaming fish a reason to stop and feed for longer.
- 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.

A neat lead-clip rig over a light scattering of bait
When you don't know the lake well yet, the simplest approach is the best start: a reliable bottom bait rig on a clean spot, with just enough bait to get a bite without filling them up.
- Feel the lead down to find a firm spot, then clip up so you hit it every cast.
- Fish a single boilie or wafter with 20–30 freebies around it.
- Leave one rod roving and recast it to showing fish.

Checked Sept '26 — “Thorpe Park Lakes is a big former gravel-pit complex beside Thorpe Park and Thorpe Lakes Watersports Resort. Angling is mentioned in planning paperwork, but there’s no confirmed public day-ticket fishery setup, tariff, fishing booking page or current fishing rulebook.”
This is our own summary of recurring public feedback and the venue details we checked, not a copied customer review or a promise you’ll catch. Feedback changes, so we keep it separate from the Tackle Index score.
