Half a mile of double and single bank fishing approx. 2 miles downstream of Builth Wells. Lower Glanwye offers salmon fishing along with some first class sport for trout and grayling, a small part of which is fishable from the bank.

Most of the beat does require wading, however, and as with most of the upper Wye, stud or felt-soled waders are necessary. The beat can easily cater for one salmon rod or two trout/grayling rods per day. This beat consistently provides prolific sport for those that fish for trout & grayling.

Access can be difficult at this beat but parking is very close to the river

Excellent B&B accomodation is available at nearby Glanwye - Tel : Mrs Kidston on 07747 686041
