Not sure if a carp fishing holiday in Oxfordshire is for you? We can’t possibly see why not! Getting out into the fresh air and British sunshine, the relaxing sound of the water and the thrill of the hunt combined with a getaway from the daily hustle and bustle is the perfect way to spend time. We’ve spent countless hours on the banks of our fishing lakes at Hardwick Parks and we can’t think of anything better!
If you’re still not convinced, here are four reasons to love Carp Fishing Holidays in Oxfordshire.
Choices of Waters & Fish
Oxfordshire, and especially the area to the west of Oxford, is jammed packed with lakes, reservoirs and fisheries. Whether you’re looking for fly fishing on the man-made carp fishing lakes at Farmoor, natural river fishing with the Newland Angling Club or, what just might be, the best carp angling waters in the UK at Witney’s Linear Fisheries, Oxfordshire has something for you.
While the area is most well known for its Carp – especially common and mirror Carp – some pools also offer Tench, Pike, Perch, Chub and Trout.
Rod-side Accommodation
If you’re looking to revolve your entire holiday around fishing, then why not look at one of the areas’ holiday parks that offer carp fishing on-site? Venues like Hardwick Parks offer anglers acres of premium carp fishing mere metres away from their front door. For the passionate fisherman or woman, there’s nothing better!
Local Tackle Shops
With the range of fishing lakes available, it makes sense that Oxfordshire is home to many quality tackle shops offering everything you need for the perfect fishing trip – from rods to bait to angling club memberships. Here are just a few of them:
State Fishing Tackle – Witney
Only 5 minutes drive from Hardwick Parks’ on-site fishing lake.
Top Tackle – Oxford
South of Oxford in the suburb of New Hinskey and a stone’s throw from the River Thames.
FTD Fishing Tackle and Bait – Oxford

Ace Tackle & Bait – Kidlington

RV’s Fishing Tackle and Bait – Faringdon

Proximity to Oxford and the Cotswolds
We know that not everyone wants to fish. While you might revel in the quiet and tranquillity of a fishing lake, the family might not be so keen. There’s no need to worry though as there’s so much to see and do in the area!
Staying at Hardwick Parks, for example, you’re less than half an hour from the bustling cultural centre of Oxford, and even closer to the edge of the beauty of the Cotswolds. Our hometown of Witney also has plenty to offer with Cogges Manor Farm and the Wychwood Brewery Tours being two highlights.
