River Dee

River

👍👍 River Dee in Wales, Excellent Grayling fishing when conditions are right, would go as far to say that it could possibly be the best Grayling water in the country ! Either dry flies or nymphs take fish here (depending on weather), makes for a fantastic day or two, and with glorious scenery it never d...

River Severn

River

👍👍 Lovely river. Good for walking with a footpath winding along most of the river. Excellent fishing, one of the best if not the best for Barbel in the country, plenty of good Chub as well to mix things up a bit.

River Arun

River

👍 Often kayak down the river Arun, lots too see with the wildlife. There is a lot of rubbish and what looks like oil in the water near Arundel does ruin it.

River Stort

River

👍👍 We parked at the Beefeater at Harlow Mill and took a left to walk along the canal. Its a very peaceful area as you move away from the main road. A few canal boats are moored up but it's not a busy stretch of water. We chose a beautiful day and it was a joy to get back to nature. The paths are quite...

River Blackwater

River

😐 Now Google wants me to review the river Blackwater for Heaven's sake. Well, in contrast to my humour, the river Blackwater is very wet. It is not usually black. Usually it is brown or grey - note that my review covers the tidal part. The Blackwater is known for Maldon, ground zero for Thames barges...

River Chelmer

River

👍👍 The river Chelmer has existed for over 100 years, torn from the rock during the ice age when dinosaurs roamed the A414. It filled with water and supermarket trolleys after the big rains of April 1889 and has since grown longer than the Amazon, even its new warehouse in Scunthorpe. It has a famous e...

Cuckmere River

River

👍👍 Awesome! I've been there on Sunday. It was an autumn day but a perfect day. The sun was up and it could be warm, indeed, just the wind was too deep and because of that I could feel a bit cold. He water was calmly and deep. I could feel the water under my legs due to small gaps on the foot path. He w...
