Angler amenities

In Newbury fishing is dominated by the Lambourn and Kennet Rivers, along with the Kennet & Avon Canal. The Lambourn offers fly fishing around Newbury on day and season ticket and a lake at Donnington Grove provides trout fishing.

The canal and River Kennet supply river fishing around Newbury and are controlled by angling clubs so fishing is by season ticket only and complies with the usual coarse season.
