BROWN'S FARM, BARCOMBE MILLS
Fishing at Brown's Farm is restricted to Annual (Sea Trout and Coarse) and Winter permit holders only .
The location and extent of the fishing is shown by the dotted line on the map below.
 |
The fishing at Brown's Farm is also used by anglers who have bought day tickets (NOT Ouse Angling Preservation Society Day Tickets) from the Farm's owners. IMPORTANT: An Ouse Angling Society day ticket does NOT give permission to fish on Brown's Farm waters |
The fishing
The west bank of the river below the Anchor Weir (opposite the Society's existing fishing), as far as the point where the river splits, plus the bank on the island created by the split in the river to the point where it rejoins - there is NO fishing allowed in the Old Mill Race by the house.
- ALL of the Society's rules apply to Annual Permit holders' use of this new fishing.
- NB. Please be aware that the farmer keeps the land here primarily as hay meadows - keep to public footpaths and river banks, DO NOT cross the fields directly to your chosen swim until the hay has been cut and collected – and if in doubt, assume that cutting has NOT taken place.
Access & parking
There is parking at Brown's Farm, accessible via the access road that runs from Barcombe Mills (the same access road that crosses the Bevern Stream).
At Barcombe Mills, leave the main road near the road bridge as if you are going to the Society's car park. Go past the car park, bear left (where right would take you towards the Mill Pool), then right - you should find a gate in front of you after a few yards. Go through the gate and follow the access road to the farm, where you should park off the right hand side of the access road, next to the river (see map). DO NOT park ON the access road .
As with all of our car parks, parking stickers MUST be displayed here at all times .
There is also car parking available next to the Anchor Inn in the pub's overflow car park. This is located in the field on the left hand (northern) side of the road just BEFORE the Anchor Inn forecourt. This is the ONLY parking available to anglers. DO NOT park on the Anchor Inn forecourt or in the car park opposite the pub. Access to the river is through the car park across the road then through the gate next to the sluice gates on the western side of the river.
Parking is also available at the usual places in Barcombe Mills. If you decide to park at the Mills, follow the Ouse Valley Way footpath along the river past the reservoir and over the footbridge to access Brown's Farm fishing at its southern end.
