Wellsfield Trout Fishery
Wellsfield is a modern fishery at the back of a farm/leisure complex, man made and consisting of three lochans, on the Denny road, coming from Stirling. From Stirling Services take the Denny turn off and head along this road until you see a tree line on the hill on the left running parallel to the road. The Wellsfield Farm entrance is next left and pretty obvious as it has an Equestrian Centre, Gym, Holiday cottages as well as the fishery.
