PART of a huge fishing complex situated just north of Bridgwater has gone up for sale.

Trinity Waters Wildmarsh site, part of Trinity Waters in Chilton Trinity, has just gone on the market with an asking price of £500,000.

The 17.1 acre site comprises three established coarse and carp fishing lakes, as well as an area made up of former stock ponds and wetland.

Since 2009, Trinity Waters has been run by the same family, and has built a reputation as one of the best coarse fisheries in the south west.

A spokesperson for Fenn Wright Rural and Fisheries said: "The three lakes are fed by a combination of groundwater and rainwater, with an outlet to the Wildmarsh drain.

"The water area from the three main lakes extends to approximately 8.5 acres with additional ponds and wetland."

The site also benefits from a large car park, along with a smaller, second car park, and nearby toilet facilities.

Speaking on Facebook, a spokesperson for Trinity Waters said: "What I’m about to write has been one of the hardest and as a family heart-breaking decision but also the right one for everyone.

"Due to retirement of Sue and John, ongoing health issues and personal reasons as a family, we are having to down size Trinity Waters and are selling Wildmarsh site (Wildmarsh, Chandos and Middlemarsh ), woodland site will still go on as normal.

"I hope you can support us and understand from our side why we have made this decision.

"Everything will still carry on as normal currently so you still have to put up with me and I hope you can continue to support us.

"Please stay on our page as the other side will still be running and progressing down the line.

"Thank you as always, much love Mish, Gary, John, and Sue."
