Access to Carters Hill, River Loddon

When fishing at Caters Hill, please ensure that:

i) You only park along Julkes Lane (as highlighted yellow on the photo below), and do not park on the drive or the grounds of the cottages for any reason: as outlined in yellow on the attached Google Maps aerial photo.

ii) You only access via the field gate, circles in yellow), on Barrets Lane as shown in the attached photo, and not via the private driveway to the cottages, shown to the right.

The field gate is on a latch and doesn’t need to be climbed over. Once you have closed the gate behind you, walk across the field keeping the hedgerow to your left and you will then reach the northwest corner of the field before crossing a small stream and through a wooded copse to another field where the River Loddon flows across the northern boundary.

Thank you for your co-operation with this.
