Drakelands Trout Fishery Unfortunately this fishery has closed due to the development of Drakelands Mine Drakelands is situated about six miles east of Plymouth on the southern border of the Dartmoor National Park. It is a peaceful small stillwater that is open all year. Drakelands is strictly catch-and-release with a good stock of brown and rainbow trout. The lake holds some large brown trout and enjoys a good hatch of fly.

The Miners Arms is one of our favourite places to eat out. Directions are available here ...
