Fishing at Riverside Holiday Village
June 17, 2021
The addition of a fishing lake at Riverside Holiday Village has been a huge success!
The addition of a purpose-built fishing lake at our family friendly holiday park near Weston-super-Mare
has proven to be a big hit with our visitors and the local wildlife alike!
The River Axe flows naturally through the park
on its way to the Bristol Channel, attracting a variety of local wildlife including ducks, Canadian geese, swans, herons, kingfishers, frogs and toads, rabbits, foxes and badgers. And the adjacent fishing lake provides the perfect place to enjoy an afternoon surrounded by beautiful countryside, whether you decide to partake in some fishing, to settle with a good book, or explore the nearby walking trails.
Our fishing lake
Generously stocked with roach, perch, chub, pike, carp and eels, our fishing lake is great for beginners, and the river provides the perfect opportunity for more experienced visitors to put their skills to the test!
In addition to our fishing lake, our holiday park offers plenty of facilities to keep visitors happy including an indoor heated swimming pool, adventure play area and lively clubhouse
with beer garden. And our self-catering static caravans
provide a comfortable base from which to enjoy a weekend fishing break.

Providing a clean and attractive destination for our visitors to enjoy not only benefits our business, it also positively impacts our local community and the wider environment. Which is why we have committed to join Surfers Against Sewage Million Mile Clean . Now the biggest initiative of its kind in the UK, the Million Mile Clean is an annual event, mobilising 1,000,000 million volunteers to clean over 10,000,000 miles of UK landscape between 2021 - 2030. It’s reported that more than 2 million pieces of litter are dropped in the UK every day at a cost of £1 billion to the taxpayer. So, we are asking visitors and the local community to get pro-active and join us at Riverside Holiday Village near Weston-super-Mare on Thursday 24th April from 11.00am - 1.00pm for an organised 2 mile ‘litter pick’ along Bridgwater Road (Hospital Roundabout - Hobbs Boat Inn). ‘Clean Kits’ will be provided; we’re just asking for 2 hours of your time to help clean up this public space.
