Beat 2 is the middle beat of Horncliffe Fishings Tweed, on the English bank of the Tweed between Norham and Horncliffe. The Greenhill fishing hut, a former netting shiel, stands at the bottom of the beat. It has a stove, gas fires, a small fridge, gas hobs and a barbecue, with room to park.

The bank is a mix of fast, shallow water that suits fly fishing and deeper, slower water that suits spinning. Rods are let by the day online through FishPal, for salmon and sea trout, and a boatman can be arranged in advance for a daily fee.
