Chalkstream Fly Fishing at Broadlands on the River Test

This video is an introduction to the world famous Broadlands Estate Fishery on the lower Test. Unlike the higher reaches of the Test the river here is wide, fast, varied and open, renowned for big brown trout, sea trout and the occasional salmon.

The luscious weed growth that proliferates from the nutrient rich water provides the perfect habitat for prolific fly life resulting in strong powerful fish. The fishing here is broken down into three beats, Longbridge, Moorcourt and Grove. Each has it is own unique offering. Broadlands is one of the more technical fisheries in the Test valley where beginners will learn a lot and fishermen of higher skill level will excel.

Built in the 15th Century, Tichborne’s Farm near Devizes was part of a larger estate owned by the Tichborne family. By the early 19th Century, if you had visited the farmyard, you would have seen the milking byres of a dairy farm, which would eventually become our four star holiday cottages. Dominating the farmyard was a large Granary built of wood under a tiled roof standing raised up on large saddle stones, which were eventually used in the construction of the present-day cottages.

Drawn by the peace, quiet and stunning surroundings, Jon and Judy Nash bought Tichborne’s in 1972. They quickly realised that the old farmhouse, barn and tumble-down cowsheds all needed immediate attention. Since that day, the Nash family has been continually building and renovating.

First, alongside restoring the farmhouse, landscaping the gardens, improving the 50-acres of farmland and bringing up their family, Jon and Judy tackled the old milking byres, rebuilding and converting them into stables for breeding horses.

Their long-held ambition, to share the farm and the local countryside with others by creating self-catering holiday cottage accommodation, was realised in 2002. After a great deal of planning, they finally took the plunge and transformed the stables, creating Linnet, Swallow and Kestrel.

The Nashes didn’t stop there! In late 2011 they added three solar panel systems to reduce Tichborne’s carbon footprint. The panels are located away from the holiday cottages on another farm building roof and give power to all the cottages, the farm and the farmhouse. In addition, all the farm’s water comes from a borehole which provides wonderful, chemical-free water that has been filtered through the chalk downs of Salisbury Plain. Our water is tested by Wiltshire Council annually to confirm it remains in perfect condition and is suitable for us and the guests to drink.

The farm is the perfect location for a quiet break – far from the road with plenty of space for youngsters to run around safely while the adults relax on the patio with a glass or two of wine.
