Wherwell Priory

Wherwell Priory is one of the most idyllic country estates in Hampshire’s famous River Test valley.

This is the classic vision of a traditional chalk stream in a tranquil parkland setting, framed by the picture postcard thatched cottages of sleepy Wherwell village.

In recent years the owners have embarked on an extensive restoration programme that has created a thriving wild brown trout population, supplemented by careful stocking.

The resident river keeper, Terry Snellgrove, takes great care to maintain the Park & Priory beats using the time honoured skills for a clear flowing river, over bright gravel beds with blankets of waving ranunculus weed from which trout & fly life thrive.

All the banks are hand cut and sown with native wild flowers that give the most amazing colourful backdrop to the river in spring & summer.

The fishing comprises of just over 1.5 miles of double bank river, divided into two beats named The Park and The Priory. All of the fishing is from the bank, though there are some short sections that may be waded. Each beat has a comfortable Fishing Cabin, with car parking nearby.
