Parking & Access:
Upstream Entry :- Parking within Willow View Farm. Space for 3 cars. Drive down the driveway and park immediately on the left through the farm gates. To enter the fishery, walk back up the driveway 20 metres, then down the track on the right hand side and through the gate.
Unfortunately the most upstream field is very overgrown and its not possible to fish there without a lot of work. There are possibly 3 swims in this field.
The rest of the river downstream of here looks very nice with plenty of good swims offering different challenges in each.
.
Middle entry:- Parking is roadside along Catton Lane. Do not block the road for farm machinery & other vehicles. Entry is through large gate. If there are cattle in the field this gate will be locked and thus no entry.
.
Downstream Entry :- Parking is road side along Catton Lane. Do not block the road for other vehicles.. Entry is over stile and step over fence within the field.
