Description
Situated on one of England's finest salmon rivers, this delightful section of the River North Tyne offers a rare opportunity to acquire the freehold of an established and productive fishery in a highly regarded sporting location. Occupying a desirable position on the river, downstream of the renowned Countess Park Fishery, the beat combines quality fishing with outstanding natural beauty and excellent accessibility.
The fishings comprise approximately 1.2 kilometres (0.77 miles) of the north bank of the River North Tyne and include six named pools providing varied and interesting water suitable for both salmon and sea trout fishing throughout the season. The beat has a proven history of productive sport, with a ten-year average catch of 17.6 salmon and 23.1 sea trout, reflecting the quality and consistency of the fishing.
Access along the beat is simple. A quiet country lane runs alongside much of the fishery, allowing anglers to move easily between pools. Whilst the lane is a public highway, traffic is generally light, and there are several convenient informal parking areas adjacent to the fishing.
At the lower end of the beat is a charming fishing hut providing a useful base for anglers. The hut is ideally positioned for enjoying both the fishing and the peaceful riverside setting.
The fishings are complemented by an attractive area of native woodland along the riverbank extending to approximately 9.2 acres. In spring, the woodland floor is carpeted with bluebells, adding considerable seasonal appeal and enhancing the amenity value of the property. The setting is rich in wildlife, and it is not unusual to encounter kingfishers darting along the water's edge, dippers working the shallows and, for the fortunate observer, an otter moving quietly between the pools.
Situation
The fishings are located close to the popular village of Wark in the North Tyne Valley, an area widely recognised for its excellent fishing, beautiful countryside and accessibility.
The market town of Hexham lies approximately 12 miles to the south, providing an extensive range of everyday services, independent shops, supermarkets, restaurants and rail connections. Newcastle upon Tyne is approximately 30 miles away, offering comprehensive commercial, cultural and transport facilities, whilst Edinburgh is approximately 85 miles to the north, making the fishings readily accessible from both northern England and Scotland.
Anglers are well catered for by various options of high-quality accommodation. The award-winning Battlesteads Hotel & Restaurant in Wark is located nearby and is particularly popular with anglers. Further accommodation, eateries and local services are available in Bellingham, while the highly regarded Beaumont Hotel in Hexham provides an excellent base for owners, guests and visiting fishermen seeking comfortable accommodation within easy reach of the river.
The River North Tyne
The River North Tyne is widely regarded as one of the premier salmon rivers in England, renowned for the quality of its water, beautiful surroundings and consistent runs of both salmon and sea trout. The river attracts anglers from throughout the United Kingdom and beyond, with the best beats being tightly held and rarely offered to the open market.
Occupying an enviable position immediately downstream of the celebrated Countess Park Fishery, this beat benefits from a combination of productive pools, attractive surroundings and straightforward access, making it suitable for both experienced anglers and those less familiar with the river.
