Oxque beat

Turn off the A6108 and cross Downholm Bridge. There is space to park at the side of the road on the left. Walk back to the bridge which   is the bottom limit. 

Go over stile on the downstream side and go under the bridge arch to begin fishing and work your way upstream. This is only possible in low water conditions.

You can drive further up the road from the bridge and park in the lay-by on left hand side just before the road bends to the right.  Walk from the lay-by towards the bend in the road. Go through the gate on the left to access the river. This photo is taken looking back towards the bridge. 

Entrance to the private road leading to Oxque Farm.  If you have parked in the lay-by you can go through the gate and walk to the river. Alternatively you may want to drive to the anglers parking area which is further down the farm road. 

Close the gate behind you!

Drive down the lane with the river on your left. Drive slowly as there are usually sheep in the fields either side.  Keep going until you come to the second gate. 

Go through the second gate. The parking area is on your left immediately after the gate. 

Close the gate behind you!

The designated parking area is on the left after you come through the gate. Space for three cars. Please park sensibly and leave space for other vehicles. Do NOT drive beyond this point. 

  From the parking area walk to the river by bearing left and following the track.  

The parking area is signed and there are several other signs warning anglers not to drive any further up the track. Please observe these instructions. 

There is no public right of way on this land. You should not meet any walkers or members of the public. If you do please be polite and advise them that they are on private land and request that they leave.

There is a well worn path along the river bank. There is one wooden fence to climb over between the parking area and the top limit. 

To reach the top limit you will need to walk across a very big open field. The wood at the far side is the boundary. You will see out top limit sign on the fence at the edge of the wood.
