Things to do nearby...
Fishing at Ford & Etal Estates
Come to fish the River Till on the beautiful Ford & Etal Estates waters in rural North Northumberland.
The River Till is England’s only tributary of the mighty River Tweed; as such it is governed by River Tweed fishing regulations. It is particularly well-known for its run of sea-trout from the spring to summer month but grilse and salmon are also regularly taken, as are grayling during winter months.
Night fishing is available during the summer months amidst this beautiful section of the river, in parts graded a Site of Special Scientific Interest.
Please visit the website for more information and prices.

Till Fishing
The Till, although in England, is a tributary of the Tweed and is governed by the Tweed Angling Code.
The River Till is 200 yards from the cottage, the fishing can be booked by the week with the cottage or as a day rod through our website directly or Fishpal. River access is down a fairly steep bank and the River flows through a wooded valley before joining the River Tweed junction two miles downstream.
On the farm there is a lockable tackle room located in the old farm Smithy with a catch record book, rod racks, hook & hangers providing plenty of room to store all fishing gear. There is a rustic log fishing hut in the middle of the beat by Pool 5 ‘Old Egypt Pool’.
Please check the River Levels as these fluctuate daily.
