Why it's Wildland
4.5Five fishing pools with distinct characters: Alders and Hollybush began as an old duck pond and a former dumping hollow, while later pools were created from stock ponds. Today the fishery is used for pleasure angling in a farm setting near Lichfield.
Pipehill is a working pleasure fishery rather than a wild nature reserve. Its appeal is the contrast between five tree-lined and more open pools, including two waters with an unexpected past as a duck pond and a former tipping hollow. It earns a place for this modest, specific story and the chance to spend time beside the water—not for wilderness or unverified public walking access.
