We found the directions were okay however the gate way was a lot further down and we were unsure if this was the right one. The gates were open when we got there. The track was fully overgrown with grass about 3 foot high and a few hidden pot holes on the way down. Would not recommend going down the track if it’s wet.
The car park is a fair size so no problem with 2 vehicles. We stayed in the car park and went to have a look down the river side track into the field . We did not feel there was room enough to turn a long vehicle round at the end of the track so would have needed to reverse back.
We fished the pegs just below the car park at the bottom of the steep steps.
We would not recommend this venue for anyone with mobility issues as the banks are high although there is a narrow walk way along the river at the bottom of the steps it’s a bit tight if you are carrying tackle. This is not a moan its just advice for anglers thinking of coming here.
Definitely no criticism of the fishing. We never caught a barbel , not for the want of trying this was our third day in a row at different beats were no barbel were caught. Just bad timing with the river so low
All together we had about 35 chub we only listed 20 the others were chublets under a pound biggest were 4 about the four pound mark. Most of them came to a feeder approach with the odd one on the stick float . We also had a good few hours on the stick float catching good quality dace and the odd bleak or three along with minnows. Maybe not everyone’s cup of tea but we thoroughly enjoyed the day.
Hope this helps you with your choices

The River conditions on the day was low with a good pace.
Weather overcast all day with a cold northern wind.

Fished the evening in the woods. River levels were low which was ideal. Only 1 barbel at 7.5lb. No other takes and fished till dark.
