New for '22

 

 

Greetings!   Here is what is new in '22! I know we all love the old favourites, some of which have been part of the Fishing Breaks story since I first opened our doors over 30 years ago, but every year I do like to bring you something not only new, but different.

 

 

West Wycombe Park Main house top left. Boathouse on left. Music Temple on right.

 

I think you’ll agree West Wycombe Park ticks both those boxes. It is just 29 miles as the crow flies from central London with fishing on the pellucid Buckinghamshire Wye and lake designed by landscape architect Thomas Cook in the form of a swan. Come on your own. Bring a friend. Or organise a party taking lunch in the Music Temple on the island.   Plus, I have a new Fish Camp location on the River Wylye. The Weekend Chalkstream School at Bullington Manor. Locks Keeper's Cottage on the River Itchen.

 

 

Weekend Chalkstream School   When one day is never enough join us for a weekend at Bullington Manor.   The school, led by our patient and knowledgeable guides, is the chance for intense mornings and relaxing afternoons. The School is limited to just eight and runs in early May.   More details here ....

 

 

Hill Deverill Fish Camp   Few fishing trips beat those that allow you to wake up to the sound of the river and fall asleep to the smell of a campfire as the summer darkness closes in with flitting bats for company.   At the head of the Wylye Valley, Hill Deverill is as perfect a stream and location as you are ever likely to find for a night of camping and two days of fishing. Ideal for a family.   More details here ....

 

 

West Wycombe Park   If you’ve ever seen The Crown, you will certainly recognise the 18th century Palladian mansion that overlooks the River Wye and the lake of West Wycombe Park in Buckinghamshire.   Fed from the Chilterns Hills the water here is exceptionally clear, even by chalkstream standards.   Fishing on the river and lake, the latter from either the bank or a boat, is available on Tuesdays and Fridays. You can even book lunch for a party in the magnificent Music Temple on the lake island.   More details here ....

 

 

Lock Keeper's Cottage   Qing Ya Xi is one of our most popular beats on the River Itchen and now the owner is just completing a full refurbishment of the Lock Keepers’ Cottages in the grounds.   Sleeping seven and designed for indoor/outdoor living bedside the river Lock Keeper's Cottage is available, with fishing, for 3 and 7 night stays.   More details here ....
