About 1.5 miles of right-bank fishing on a slow, deep, strong-flowing length of the Severn at Alberbury — may look uninviting at first sight, but under-rated with great potential, especially for coarse fishing. Plenty of wildlife including roe deer. Large areas of deep water make it an excellent winter stretch, and a good alternative to the Isle Estate water with fewer restrictions. Shallower areas at the top and bottom, weedy patches downstream of a small wood. Heavy bankside vegetation, mostly arable fields, though obvious swims have been cut in the top field. Note: the area across the river is a Military Training Area, marked DANGER on the OS map.
White Abbey and Lower Eyton Farms, Alberbury
From
Above the footbridge — one large field, upstream limit at the top end
To
Across the footbridge — two large fields beyond a small wood, downstream limit at the second field-end

Parking
Parking Information
A458 Shrewsbury-Welshpool road from Shrewsbury, past Ford, fork right onto B4393 about 5.5 miles from the city centre. About 3 miles further, just before Alberbury, right onto Abbey Lane towards Lower Wood — road bends right, follow to White Abbey Farm. Park at the fork in the road, in the car park enclosure away from farm machinery — room for 6 cars plus 2 more on the roadside verge just before the fork. Go no nearer the farm. Road is tarmacked but verges can be muddy. Cross the parking area, through the far gate, left through the field and the facing gate, right and follow the field-side to the river where a stream runs in. Lower/longer length is across the footbridge to the right. All fields heavily cropped — keep to the river bank and field sides, do not cross growing crops or mowing grass.
