Upstream limit, near lay-by before the Royal Hill pub

Downstream limit at the field-end
A short, underfished stretch of the River Severn at Royal Hill, Melverley (Pentre) — about 600 yards of left-bank fishing in one large field, just below the confluence with the River Vyrnwy. Runs on an inside curve, about 30 yards wide, shallow and gravelly at the top, deepening around the bend, with a steady deep straight at the bottom. Heavy bankside cover in places, some streamer weed. In low water, watch for a sunken barge about 200 yards above the downstream limit. Good numbers of coarse fish — chub predominate, plus dace, perch, roach, pike and barbel.
