FAMILY RUN. PASSIONATE BY NATURE.
Farnley Estate is a family run private fishing estate on the River Tyne near Corbridge, Northumberland. Established as a fishing destination for more than 25 years, it is carefully managed to offer a high-quality fishing experience in a peaceful and unspoilt setting.
Set within around 100 acres of wildlife-rich countryside, Farnley combines one of the finest salmon beats on the Tyne, with well-stocked trout lakes and extensive woodland walks.​ Lightly fished and thoughtfully run, it offers a rare balance of productive water, privacy and accessibility.
AN UPDATE FROM FARNLEY ESTATE
Farnley Estate is now under new ownership and is currently being prepared for its relaunch for the 2027 fishing season.
​
Over the coming months, we will be carrying out thoughtful estate works and a range of improvements as we get ready to welcome back familiar faces to the beat, along with those looking to discover Farnley for the first time.

ESTATE PLAN
The estate is centred around a private stretch of the River Tyne, with all fishing and facilities easily accessed from a single entrance off the A695.​
The river forms the northern boundary, where a sequence of named salmon pools run along the Farnley bank. To the south of the river lie the estate’s stillwaters. Main Lake and New Lake are positioned within the centre of the estate, offering well-stocked and varied fishing trout and course fishing, while Pontoon Lagoon provides additional access and a connection point via a pontoon crossing.
There are a variety of pontoons to fish from and boats to access the main lake.​ Access to the estate is through paths leading from the entrance gate with a car park across the railway, walking to the fishing hut and beat. There are toilet facilities next to the fishing hut during the season.
FISHING AT FARNLEY
Farnley is a family-run fishery on the River Tyne, carefully managed to offer a peaceful and well-looked-after experience throughout the season, while remaining as wild as possible.​The main beat is normally fished by three rods.
A separate fourth rod is retained by the estate for a small invitation-only syndicate, and on selected pre-booked dates one syndicate member may fish alongside a booked party.​Much of the season is allocated in advance to returning rods, with remaining day rods released as availability allows.
The estate is managed carefully throughout the year, with selected dates reserved for special events and Sundays kept for family use. A valid Environment Agency rod licence is required to fish at Farnley. Well - behaved dogs are welcome, provided they are kept on a lead.
