Rothley Low Lake
Rothley Low Lake was designed and landscaped by Lancelot Capability Brown in around 1770, commissioned by Sir Walter Blackett. It is one of the few examples of his work in the North East which he completed in his lifetime.
We are very fortunate to have Rothley Low Lake and welcome guests at The Granary to walk and enjoy the peace and tranquility of this special landscape.
Stay at the lake with Wild With Consent.
We have partnered with Wild With Consent to enable camper vans and 4x4's with roof tents to park near the lake for that off the beaten-track, special and exclusive night away.

The lake is designed in his trademark serpentine style. Drawings show that he also planned to construct a lodge overlooking the lake to complete the landscape. We have also recently planted trees in the place where Capability Brown had planned for trees on his drawings.
The lake is let out to a Felling Fly Fishing syndicate who enjoy excellent fishing for rainbow trout.
We welcome our guests at The Granary to visit the lake and enjoy the peace it provides.
