Finally, Brookbank Farm also has four of its own fishing lakes shared with the local angling club, so day tickets can be arranged.
Situated in stunning surroundings, the location of the farmhouse is perfect for those who love the outdoors, and for exploring the beautiful Cheshire countryside. You only have to step outside to find numerous walking routes and if you prefer, there are also some fantastic cycle paths with some of the best cycling in the country found on the Cheshire Cycleway.
