Hawthorn, the larger of the two match lakes constructed as part of the 2004 expansion, spans over an acre. It boasts a substantial reed-fringed island, lush bankside vegetation, and numerous small overhanging alders.

Hawthorn comprises twelve swims, two of which are disabled access. These swims are equipped with custom built non-slip pegs. With a maximum depth of approximately 6 feet, the lake is well stocked, with some specimens weighing up to 29Lb.

In March 2025, the lake underwent netting, resulting in the removal of a significant portion of the ‘nuisance fish’ population. This measure has been implemented to enhance the carp fishing experience for anglers.
