The Village Water beat is wild trout fishing of the highest order. Never easy, this is a long beat that runs to nearly a mile in length that requires the lightest outfit and the most accurate casting. Fed by the perennial spring at the headwater of the River Allen the water will feel distinctly chilly when you first get in and its pellucid nature will disguise some surprisingly deep sections. However, the beat is very much left to nature so the difficulty factor is necessarily high. The Village beat is suitable for one Rod only.
