Travel By Train & Bike

Sometimes travelling by train is the smart thing to do; it is certainly a relaxing way to start any fishing trip. Most of our rivers are suitable for arrival by train then take a taxi or use your bike for the final leg.

However, if you prefer a short walk to the river then Barton Court (Kennet) is, at 100 yards, a dream with The Dundas Arms on the doorstep to stay, eat or drink. Shawford Park (Itchen) is just quarter of a mile with Island Farms (Test), School Farm (Dun) and Whitchurch Fulling Mill (Test) all about a mile.
