PRIVATE RIVER FISHING — ESTATE ACCESS



The landlord owns Wye Lea Fishery — a full mile of private fishing rights along the bank of the River Wye, reached from the house through the fields. It's a special stretch of water, particularly around the Backney Bridge pillars, where the old stone railway structures create an aerated current that draws fish and makes for exceptional sport.



The Wye is one of England's finest rivers for coarse fishing and is particularly famous for its barbel.



A few things to know before you cast:



- A valid coarse fishing rod licence is required — buy one from the Environment Agency website before you arrive

- Please contact us in advance if you're planning to fish — a maximum of 15 people can fish the stretch on any given day

- There is a day ticket charge for the fishery, confirmed when you get in touch

- Stay 3 nights or more and receive 50% off the day ticket charge
