Fishing Lakes

Four well stocked lakes offer the angler a fine facility which is rarely matched. The lakes are stocked full of top quality Carp, Bream, Tench, Roach, Rudd, Perch and Gudgeon. Fully managed, a permanent fishing warden ensures that the fish and their environments are always maintained to the highest standard.

Sea fishing from the beach is also very popular with our guests. Tackle and bait for both freshwater and sea angling are available from the fishing tackle section of The Wheatgrain shop, on site at Mersea Island, Essex.

Golf

Waldegraves has both an eighteen hole pitch and putt golf course and an undercover, 10 bay, golf driving range for those who need their daily golfing fix! The course offers challenges to both experts and beginners alike.

Beach and Slipway

Boat access to the sea is made easy by Waldegraves' own hard slipway, which is suitable for hand or vehicle assisted boat launching. Water, for most craft, is deep enough approximately 3 hours either side of high water and is suitable for sailing dinghies, jet skis, speedboats and windsurfers. Bouyed zones ensures that speedboats and jet skis do not stray into bathing areas.

Bathing from our private beach is safe. For safety, however, we recommend that all children are supervised by an adult when playing or swimming in the sea.

Boating Lake

Especially designed for you to bring your own rowing boats, inflatable boats and model boats, the Boating Lake is surrounded by picturesque trees and mown, grassy banks. It offers hours of fun for children and families who just like messing about in boats.

Swimming Pool

The heated, open air pool is a firm favourite with all ages. Divided into a toddler and parent and a main pool, even the youngest of swimmers can enjoy the water.

Safety is our paramount consideration. We have qualified life guards on poolside duty at all times whilst the pool is in use.

Surrounding the pool is a large, protected, sunbathing deck. Our Granary Restaurant is immediately adjacent to the pool and is always ready to serve you a delicious meal, snack or drink which you can consume either in the restaurant or on the sundeck.

Playgrounds & Sports Areas

We have two childrens outdoor play areas which are located in convient areas around the park these are suitable for small children fully equipped with cargo net, slides, bridges so your little ones can really enjoy a mini adventure! An all weather, multi purpose playing surface offers young sports people plenty of room to practice their basketball, netball and football skills. Equipped with basketball nets and a marked basketball court, the area can be used for fun, practice or organised matches. Alongside the all weather area is a large, grassed area which is perfect for organised team games or a fun, kick-about.
