There are few hobbies as pleasurable as fishing, which can be a great way to unwind, be in the moment and enjoy being surrounded by natural beauty (and obviously the satisfaction of catching a fish!). The UK has many superb fishing spots which are easily accessible by car, so read on to find out a few of the best places to visit.
1. Redmire Pool, Herefordshire
Redmore Pool is a popular spot for fishing, especially for carp anglers. It is a stunning part of the UK that is easily accessible, but keep in mind that you will need to book because it can get busy during the warmer months of the year.
2. Angler’s Paradise, Devon
Angler’s Paradise is another fantastic place for fishing in the UK and one of the best places to catch exotic species. It is a purpose-built facility with 30 lakes to choose from along with comfortable villas, swimming pools and more so a good choice for a fishing holiday.
3. River Test, Hampshire
Hampshire’s River Test is actually one of the most famous fly-fishing rivers in the world, which means that it can get busy but is certainly somewhere that anyone who enjoys fishing will appreciate and known for its manicured banks and brown trout.
4. The River Tay, Perth
The River Tay flows directly through the Perth town centre in Scotland, so it is certainly somewhere that is convenient with plenty of great places to explore nearby. The river itself is known for its salmon and you also have Lock Leven a few miles south that is also worth checking out.
5. Lake Windermere, The Lake District
The Lake District is somewhere that is always worth visiting whether you are fishing or not, but it also has the spectacular Lake Windermere which is a great spot for anglers with stunning natural surroundings (and other lakes to try). You can find all sorts in Lake Windermere, including pike, eels, perch, brown trout, salmon and even arctic charr.
Tips
One of the great things about fishing in the UK is that you can easily reach practically any popular fishing area by car, but you should consider a car warranty if spending a long time behind the wheel for financial protection. You should also research areas ahead of time to see if you need to book and if there are any rules and always leave places in the same condition as when you arrived.
The UK has many fabulous fishing spots all over with the above being 5 of the best worth visiting.
