Visitors to Cosways are welcome to use Waldegraves amenities if they wish

Fishing Lakes (Waldegraves)

Waldegraves four lakes are stocked full of top quality Carp, Bream, tench, Roach, Rudd, Perch and Gudgeon which are guaranteed to meet the expectations of the keenest angler. Managed by a permanent fishing warden, fish and their environments are maintained to the highest standard. Our lakes have recently been improved with new swims added!
Sea fishing from our private beach is also very popular with our guests. Tackle and bait for both freshwater and sea angling are available from The Wheatgrain shop at Waldegraves, Mersea Island, Essex.

Golf (Waldegraves)

Waldegraves has both an eighteen hole pitch and putt golf course and an undercover, 10 bay, golf driving range for those who need their daily golfing fix! The course offers challenges to both experts and beginners alike.

Beach and Slipway

Boat access to the sea is made easy by Cosways own slipway, which is suitable for hand or vehicle assisted boat launching. Water, for most craft, is deep enough approximately two hours either side of high water and is suitable for sailing dinghies, jet skis, speedboats and windsurfers. Buoyed zones ensure that speedboats and jet skis do not stray into bathing areas. Proof of insurance must be presented & lodged with Reception on arrival. Policies must contain a 3rd party liability limit minimum of £3,000,000. Bathing from our private beach is safe, however, we recommend that all children are supervised by an adult when playing or swimming in the sea.

Boating Lake (Waldegraves)

Especially designed for you to bring your own rowing boats, inflatable boats and model boats, the Boating Lake is surrounded by picturesque trees and mown, grassy banks. It offers hours of fun for children and families who just like messing about in boats.
