The River Allen is a chalkstream gem in beautiful, unspoilt and tranquil countryside on the Shaftesbury Estate. The exceptionally clear water provides the epitome of sight fishing. The three Home beats, Bowerswaine, Upper Brockington and Lower Brockington run together offering a combination of bank fishing with some sections best waded. There is a good head of small, wild brown trout complemented with some stock fish of a larger size. River keeper Stewart Hand is usually on hand to meet you and give useful advice.
