Barrow Gurney Reservoirs
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Barrow Gurney Reservoirs (grid reference ST5468) (also known as Barrow Gurney Tanks or Barrow Tanks) are three artificial reservoirs near the village of Barrow Gurney, which lies southwest of Bristol, England. They are known by their numbers rather than names.
The reservoirs are operated by Bristol Water.
There are three reservoirs in total, one (Tank number 3, 60 acres) to the north of the A38 and two (Tank number 1, 25 acres & number 2, 40 acres) to the south.
The stony banks on all the tanks provide a habitat for sedges.
Fishing (under permit) is generally for rainbow (Oncorhynchus mykiss, formerly Salmo iridia) and Brown trout (Salmo trutta morpha fario and S. trutta morpha lacustris).
