From the Norfolk Venues Sticky at the top of the page:

Cranworth/Woodrising Water Meadows

This 2 acre man made lake has 2 islands and is shaped like a figure of eight. Depths vary from 2-10feet and the water is well coloured.

There is a prolific stock of Carp to over 20lbs. Crayfish are also present in the water. Caravanners and Camp site is also available.

Route: From Norwich take the B1108 Watton road to Hingham, just beyond the village look out on the right for the road to Shipden, follow the Cranworth signs and the lake is near to Jubilee farm on the right.

 

(There are also a couple of threads on the lake under Cranworth or Woodrising if you hit the search button, but most are short)

 

I fished it years ago and it was quite an easy venue and the best area to fish was the far end of the lake away from the car park. Wamps and I had a few fish out, but they have definitely grown since then and the lake has been extended from its original L shape.
