I drive past Thornton Abbey 3 times a week and didn't even know that pond was there. Just found it on google earth and it looks a belter. I'm going that way again on Wednesday, so think I'll stop by the pond and maybe knock on a few doors and see if I can find out anything about it.

Sorry for the delay in replying, but had trouble tracking down the owner.

 

Anyway, basically the pond belongs to a farmer who uses it as his own personal reservoir to water his land. There are no fish in it, as it usually gets drained every year throughout the summer and fills again during the winter.

 

So as nice as it looks, afraid it's not a fishery.

 

Hope this helps.
