Keynsham Angling Association's main water is Century Ponds, situated at Stockwood Vale in Keynsham, Bristol. Two separate ponds can be found here in this quiet, rural, easy-to-access location. The venue holds a total of 26 anglers and includes ample on-site parking. Facilities for disabled access include exclusive bank-side parking, four double-width platforms and level access to over 10 swims. Both the Bristol (349) and Bath (339) Badgerline BUS SERVICES stop at Keynsham Cemetery which is approx 1km from the venue. Fishing at Century Ponds is by advance day ticket only, costing £3.50, which can be purchased from any of the TACKLE SHOPS listed on the DAY TICKETS page. A current Keynsham Angling Association membership card is also required. Day tickets are not available on the bank.
Set in relaxing countryside, the site is a thriving natural habitat, largely isolated from the bustle of the nearby town. Newts, Frogs, Moorhens, Canada Geese and Ducks populate the waters, whilst the banks and surrounding countryside are home to a variety of flora and fauna - including Grass Snakes, Voles, Badgers, Foxes, Kingfishers, Squirrels, Cormorants, Dragon Flies, Herons, Deer, Buzzards, Rabbits & Stoats. The ponds are bordered by Hazel, Willow, Oak, Elm, Hawthorn, Orchids and thriving natural hedgerows.
The venue is block-bookable to clubs, companies and organisations for matches and day trips, on a full or part-day basis, weekdays only. Either of the individual ponds can also be reserved.
