Denford
The River Kennet at Denford is a beautiful example of a clean and clear wild chalk stream. The Kennet is widely claimed to be one of the finest chalk streams in the country, with its unspoilt and not manicured feel making it a haven for wildlife both in the stream and on the surrounding meadows and chalk downs.
The Kennet is located downstream from the Berkshire town of Hungerford. It boasts a thriving population of wild brown trout and grayling. The fishery is lightly and delicately stocked with young brown trout to help maintain the population.
Denford has been restored over the past three to four years and has a dedicated and full time water keeper, focusing on maintaining this beautiful river and its surroundings.
The beats at Denford are largely carriers but include some of the main River Kennet and half waters stretching over two miles allowing plenty of space to wonder whilst remaining relatively close to base. The fishing is perfect of those looking for a testing day on the water, experience in stalking the fish and different types of casting is advisable.
There is a comfortable hut to lunch in with a good outside area to relax and have a BBQ. Glorious Game can organise a hamper lunch or on the bank catering, including BBQ cooked on site, please contact for prices.
The main season at Denford is between the 1st April and 30th September.
