Gloucester and Sharpness Canal

Gloucester · 1 lakes on site

Proper canal fishing rather than a lake complex, with bream, roach and predators all in the mix. The Gloucester Canal Season Ticket covers towpath coarse fishing from Monk Meadow to the former railway bridge at Purton Lower—not the whole canal.

River Severn — Birds Meadow, The Mythe, Tewkesbury
