Keyhole Bank runs from the bay south of the Sailing Hut until the Fallen Tree. The bank was named by Grace Fowler, when viewed from the West Bank the trees appear to be in the shape of a traditional keyhole.

This is a long stretch of water and suits those anglers who prefer to work the bank. Fish, especially resident brownies, can be taken close to the bank with features such as submerged dry stone walls often holding numbers of predatory rainbows. Drifting small flies on the wind is often a successful technique.
