Astbury Mere

[1] The park is owned by Astbury Mere Trust, and the lake and its banks by Stoke-on-Trent Angling Society.

[5] After the closure of the quarry, the site was divided into housing (Ennerdale Drive estate) and open space.

[8] The area forms a shallow bowl, centred on Astbury Mere, with surrounding grassland, woodland and plantation, as well as a community orchard, originally planted by local schoolchildren.

[1][2][8] Various watersports occur on the lake, including fishing, sailing, windsurfing, canoeing and kayaking; swimming is not permitted.

[1][7] Fishing is organised by Stoke-on-Trent Angling Society; the lake is stocked with carp, perch, pike and roach.
