River Cherwell Thrupp

River level

The lowdown

• • This is the Cherwell Thrupp water listed by KAS, and it’s separate from their Kidlington I and Kidlington II waters. Handy distinction if you’re checking your permit or sorting directions.
• • The upper bit is called River Cherwell Thrupp (Company Yard). It starts at the ditch at the top of Thrupp Wides and runs down to the railway bridge.
• • Company Yard is on the right-hand bank. The main River Cherwell Thrupp section starts at that same railway bridge, so the bridge is the obvious dividing marker.
• • From the railway bridge, the main section continues through five meadows. It finishes at the drainage ditch below White Bridge.
• • The main section is also on the right-hand bank. So, whichever part you’re heading for, bank access is clearly defined by KAS rather than being a vague bit of riverbank.
• • The setting is properly rural and meadowy. The nearby Thrupp area also has the Oxford Canal alongside or close to the river, giving the place a distinctive canal-and-river feel.
• • There’s no published peg count or stated fishing length in yards or miles. Don’t assume the five meadows equal a measured stretch — KAS simply describes the boundaries and access points.
• • KAS doesn’t publish a species list, night-fishing permission, rod limit, or bait, hook, keepnet and landing-net rules for this water. Worth getting the exact club position before you fish.
• • There’s no dedicated parking postcode or published day-ticket price for the stretch either. Ticketing terms should be confirmed with KAS before making the trip, avoiding a needless faff on arrival.
• We're not sure on ticket prices for this one — check with the club or local regulations before you leave.

Methods: KAS does not publish method or swim guidance for this stretch, so check the club’s current fishing terms before choosing an approach.

Access & tickets

These sections are presented as KAS club-controlled waters. No public day-ticket price or confirmation of day-ticket availability is published, so check current access arrangements with Kidlington Angling Society before fishing.

The club doesn't list species for this stretch, so we haven't guessed.
