Salmon Ponds
As mentioned above, this is where the first Atlantic salmon and brown trout eggs that arrived in this country were hatched. A very interesting place with Brown, Rainbow, albino Rainbow, Brook and Tiger trout plus Atlantic Salmon in ponds for feeding and display. Not able to get good fish photos on phone but wife thinks she got some good ones on her camera.
Area was also set up as an arboretum, with Huon Pine and a Medlar amongst the trees planted.
It is still a functional hatchery, producing over one million fish a year.
A good museum is on site also.
