Just outside Little Faringdon near Lechlade, you'll find a dedicated trout fishery that's genuinely worth the visit if you're keen on fishing or simply fancy a day by the water.
The fishery welcomes everyone from experienced fly fishers to complete beginners, and the waters are well-maintained with both rainbow and brown trout that offer a proper challenge. What sets it apart is the genuine focus on the fishing itself—you get a calm, unhurried space to work on your technique and soak up the slower rhythm of the Cotswolds.
The practical side works in your favour too. Lechlade-on-Thames is just a short distance away, a real market town where you can grab something to eat or drink and take a stroll along the river before or after fishing. Fairford is equally accessible, and you're well-placed to explore the wider Faringdon area if you want to make a longer day of it. Whether you're planning a serious fishing session or just want to unwind in a peaceful spot by the water, it slots easily into a Cotswolds visit. Even if you're not an angler, the grounds and surrounding countryside make for a pleasant walk and a quiet break from busier tourist spots.
