Situated on the southern fringe of the Isle of Axholme, at the County border between North Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire, Langholme's location is at Haxey in North Lincolnshire, just off the A161 and close to the villages of Westwoodside and Misterton. The M180 motorway link is some 15 minutes away.

The lake itself is some 17.5 acres or so in size and is a rapidly maturing sandpit. It is several years old and had never been an angling venue until the Carp Society took it over in June 2001

Excavation of sand finished around 1992/3 leaving the lake in its present form, however there have been sand pits on this site for the past sixty years or so. The lake is typical of many in the area, gin clear, weedy water with an abundance of natural food, the water quality being first class for holding and growing fish. Bordering the lake is Langholme Wood Nature Reserve to the South. To the North there is the Doncaster to Gainsborough Rail link and the Warping Drain, a seldom-fished land drain holding good stocks of Pike, Tench and Bream.

The Society holds a long-term lease with a large mineral company. At the end of the specified ten year period there is an automatic renewal clause.

Stocks of fish have been provided from several sources including Horseshoe Lake, Farriers, Woldview and Shotgate.
