Here’s the questions people are asking about Logan Fish Pond

Logan Fish Pond is a natural tidal rock pool that has been used as a living fish pond since the 1800s. It is home to large, hand-tame wild fish — most famously codling — that are fed daily by a keeper and will swim right up to visitors.

Yes, it's a wonderful experience for children of all ages. Seeing large fish fed by hand at close range is genuinely exciting, though parents should supervise young children carefully near the water's edge.

Most visitors spend around 30 to 45 minutes at the pond itself. Combined with the scenic coastal walk and surroundings, allow an hour or more for a relaxed visit.

The site involves some uneven coastal terrain and steps, so it may be challenging for pushchairs and wheelchairs. It is advisable to check with the site directly before visiting if accessibility is a concern.

Logan Fish Pond itself has very limited on-site facilities, so it's a good idea to bring a picnic or plan to stop in a nearby village before or after your visit.

Advance booking is not typically required, but as a small independent attraction it is worth checking current opening arrangements directly before making the trip, particularly outside peak season.
