Fishing
Whether you prefer coarse fishing or game fishing, are an expert fisherman or a novice angler – or even want to experience fishing for the very first time, you’ll find the perfect waters around Aymestrey.
No wonder fishing is so popular: Escape from the demands of everyday life and immerse yourself in the beautiful countryside of the Welsh Marches. Even if you don’t manage to catch anything, fishing provides the perfect opportunity to slow down, relax and enjoy the fresh, invigorating air of our little corner of England.
