Lakes, Reservoirs & Riversides in Brighton

If you fancy a quiet morning by the water, there's not a huge choice around Brighton, but Swanborough Fishing Lakes out near Lewes is worth the trip. It's day ticket carp fishing across two lakes, and it's open every single day of the year from 7am to 7pm, so you're not stuck trying to fit round odd opening hours. It suits anyone who wants a proper go rather than a quick paddle, since there's no toddler splash-about option here. Bring your own gear and check what a day ticket costs before you set off. Early mornings tend to be calmest if you want the lake to yourself, and with it open all year you can pick a day that suits rather than working round a season.
