This fishing spot near Buckland is a dedicated angling destination in the heart of the Cotswolds, known locally as Peg 1.
It's a well-maintained stretch of water where you can expect to find carp, tench, roach, and bream, so whether you're an experienced angler or simply want a peaceful morning by the water, there's plenty to reward your patience and effort.
The location itself is genuinely appealing beyond just the fishing. You're surrounded by the classic Cotswolds landscape—rolling fields and those distinctive honey-coloured stone buildings that define the region. There's a real sense of being able to properly disconnect here, away from the usual bustle.
The practical side works in your favour too. Buckland is small and quiet, but you're positioned conveniently close to larger villages like Broadway, Winchcombe, and Chipping Campden. This means you can easily extend your day if you fancy it—perhaps grab lunch at a traditional pub or browse the independent shops these villages are known for. Many people use Peg 1 as the focus of a longer visit to the area rather than a standalone trip.
It's the kind of place where a few hours of fishing can become a proper day out if you want it to, with the flexibility to keep things simple or add exploration into your plans.
