The Yateley Lakes sit within the Yateley Complex, a working gravel pit and series of fishing lakes near Yateley, Hampshire, operated by CEMEX Angling.

The complex encompasses 11 lakes as well as a stretch of the River Blackwater, attracting around 5,000 anglers per year.

The site has a storied reputation in British carp fishing, with individual waters such as the Car Park Lake and the North Lake recognised as landmark venues.

The North Lake produced a 45¾ lb mirror carp in 1984, a capture that helped define a generation of big-carp angling in the UK. The complex also gained wider fame as the former home of Heather the Leather, once dubbed Britain's most famous carp.
