Only parking is at the side of the road really. You might want to do a close season recce. Warren Pond is another on my list for the summer, I've never fished it but had a couple of walks around years ago. There are some great photos of quite a few of the ponds on flickr.

I know the fisheries well.Sion wrote:Finally, caught my first ever Tench today.
Me and my lad spent the day at Beavers Farm Fisheries, near East Grinstead.
There is a one particular lake on there (Eden Pond), which the chap in the office describes as 'our tench lake'. After fishing there for a couple of hours in the morning (Crucian, Rudd, Silver Bream and little Perch) moved onto Moat Farm Pond, which according to the leaflet also has tench ... another Silver Bream.
For the last 45 minutes of the day, I thought we'd give Eden Pond just one last try, lots of activity on the lake ... another Rudd, however still no Tench.
Starting packing up all the equipment leaving the rod in the water for the very last moment and then uttered the phrase "last chance Mr Tench!!" .... fish on the line, as it got closer to the bank we realised it was a 1.5lb Tench .... made my day :D
Small technicality that omitted from the post above ... I actually let my 7-year old lad land the fish, as it was the last of the day ..... still waiting for MY first ever Tench then!!!
