Sports and Leisure
Winterley Pool is a fishing lake that serves as the centre-point to Winterley. The pool was formerly used to power a corn mill, with water flowing through a channel cut to Fowle Brook. There are two pools to fish; the larger front pool and the smaller Match Pool to the rear. The main pool has a large resident population of mute swans and various species of geese.
