1½ miles of mixed single and double bank fishing of River Arrow wild brown trout fishing a few miles downstream of Kington. The Lyonshall (Whittern) Beat is in a very secluded part of the river that is highly regarded for trout fishing. The access is relatively straightforward and the riverbed predominantly gravel, making for reasonably easy wading conditions. The upper sections in Lyonshall Park Wood flow more over bedrock and are a little more difficult underfoot.

Ideally fished with a 7-7½ft, 3 to 4wt rod.

There was an outbreak of crayfish plague in the lower Irfon on the Wye catchment in July 2024 resulting in the deaths of the many of the native white-clawed crayfish. This beat contains a healthy population of native crayfish therefore, visiting anglers MUST ensure against cross contamination by approved check/dry/disinfection procedures, and importantly waders, nets and tackle should be sprayed with Virkon disinfectant before and after fishing.
