Thursley Lake, Witley Park

This ornamental lake is located within a very private estate. Up until the late 1980s fishing clubs could book the lake two days a week (at a high price) to plunder the immense stock of crucian carp, wild carp and golden rudd. It was an incredibly atmospheric place to visit, with victorian follies, rhododendrons, a huge marble dolphin on a different lake, and a disused underwater observatory in the centre of the lake shown. Last I heard, the estate and grounds had become an exclusive retreat for top business executives, and possibly statesmen, to broker deals etc.
