The river is within walking distance of the accommodation and is also accessible by 4WD vehicles. The Swale is home to large numbers of Barbel and Chub. An average sized fish for these rivers is 4lb-5lb with a specimen being anything above 7lb, however a 16-pounder has been banked several times from the Swale, a truly massive fish that hints at the potential of the river.
