Fly Fishing for Trout: The two small lakes on the property provide enjoyable facilities for the experienced and the novice fisherman. We recommend that children are accompanied by an adult when in the lake area. At the beginning of each season the lakes are stocked from a local trout farm. Fishing tuition is also available at the trout farm. No swimming is permitted in the lakes

Sailing : Sail training and boating facilities are available for hire in Granville, from within the delightful marina at the port. There is a local tourist office in St Sever on these and other activities of interest in the area/region.

Golf:

There is an 18 hole golf course at Lac du la Dathée, which is 11km from St Sever. Lake Dathée also offers a picturesque, 6 km walk around the lake and it is possible to hire pedaloes and canoes during the peak season.

Other Activities:

Full equestrian facilities are available near-bye for the keen horsemen/women
