Swarkestone Bridge
Fishing on the riverbank at Swarkestone (East side of Swarkestone bridge, North bank) – The parking for members is at “The Pingle” immediately beside St James Church. The Church is situated left, on Church lane, the road leading to the river. All the house owners along that part of the Trent own the bank in front of their houses, it is part of their property. The road and pathway along the river are officially private for residents only. However, members can fish, and the residents are happy for them to do so. Please respect the owner’s privacy.
Just below the bridge is the old weir good for Barbel, Chub, Perch and Pike. The Pegs downstream are good for all species. A pedestrian access is located down Woodshop Lane which is between the bridge and The Crewe & Harpur Pub. Park in the lane (please do not block / annoy locals) and go down gravel path between house and bungalow (30m From main road). River here is slow and deep holding all species, upstream is shallower and holds Chub and Barbel.
NO ACCESS IS ALLOWED DURING THE CLOSED SEASON YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO WALK THE BANKS.
