Founded by Jane & Charles Bebbington, once a potato farm, Dearnford Lake was formed in 1991 as a result of the Whitchurch bypass being built. Dearnford was initially used for Fishing and Weddings. Fast forward 20 years & a name change, Alderford is now a bustling leisure venue run by Jane & Charles’s son, Rob and is still very much a family run business.

Now, Alderford is an all year round destination for families to create special memories together. We now have a range of activites such as an Aqua Park, Paddle Sport Hire, and Escape Islands. There are also events such as Alderfest, Fright Night (Halloween) and Christmas events.
