Glanusk Estate

Glanusk Estate, nestled in the picturesque Usk Valley near Crickhowell, offers anglers an exceptional fishing experience along a private five-mile stretch of the River Usk.

This exclusive access provides abundant opportunities to catch wild brown trout and the occasional salmon, all set against the serene backdrop of the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park.

The fishing season at Glanusk Estate commences on March 3rd, with brown trout fishing concluding on September 30th, and salmon and sea trout fishing extending until October 17th. The estate upholds a strict catch and release policy for salmon and sea trout, aligning with conservation efforts to sustain and rejuvenate fish populations in the River Usk.

Anglers can select from six distinct beats, each offering unique challenges and rewarding experiences. The river’s diverse features, including long salmon holding pools and flowing runs, cater to both novice and seasoned fishermen. Access to the river is facilitated by well-maintained paths, and during dry conditions, it is possible to drive along the entire length of the beat. To enhance your fishing excursion, Glanusk Estate offers additional services such as ghillies, guides, and tuition upon request, ensuring a tailored experience to suit individual preferences and skill levels.

For those seeking a comprehensive retreat, the estate provides a range of accommodation options, from charming cottages to fully catered houses, allowing guests to immerse themselves fully in the tranquil surroundings.

Whether you’re planning a solo fishing trip, a group outing, or a corporate event, Glanusk Estate’s combination of excellent fishing, stunning landscapes, and top-tier hospitality makes it an ideal destination for anglers seeking both relaxation and adventure.
