  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. A car park lies half a mile away, so the walk in is short. This falls in or next to protected ground, so rules will be tighter than usual. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Failing this one, try Johnson Pond, 0.4 miles away.
