Fly Fishing in Hampshire and the New Forest
Lime Wood is nestled right in the heart of English fly fishing country. Our New Forest location means we are just a short cast away from the famous River Test, Itchen and Wiltshire Avon.
These chalk stream rivers are the birthplace of fly fishing, and anglers the world over dream of casting a line on these hallowed waters.
Filtered by the unique chalk bedrock, the gin-clear water is home to large native brown trout, grayling, Atlantic salmon and sea trout, all within a short drive of the hotel!
