Exebridge, Dulverton

An excellent stretch of fishing on the River Exe, one of the West Country's finest salmon rivers with parking, a fishing hut and catch records. Freehold.

SITUATION
The fishing rights are located in a very accessible location, just of the B3222 running downstream from the village of Exebridge. Exebridge is close to both Bampton and Dulverton, both small market towns with a host of shops, pubs and restaurants.

DESCRIPTION
The River Exe rises at Exe Head, near the village of Simonsbath, on Exmoor, and flows more or less directly due south, to reach the sea in the Exe Estuary, on the south coast. It flows through open moorland and steep valleys before flowing through farmland where the river begins to slow providing some deeper pools.
