Horseshoe Lake
Horseshoe Lake on the boarders of Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire is run on traditional lines and we pride ourselves on the care we take to ensure your security and enjoyment. For this reason we like to meet all our anglers on their first visit so it is recommended that you arrive during office hours, where we can pass on whatever hints and tips we can to assist your choices of swim, baits and techniques. All of our bailiffs are highly experienced anglers and are here to help.
