Hi
I've been told there is a day ticket stretch on the River Axe near Abbey Gate Farm. Does anyone have any details/directions/could let me know how to get hold of a ticket.
Thanks
McG

Head South out of Axminster on the A358, go under the by-pass then take the first right after about 2-300yds, on the inside of a sweeping bend.
Carry on past/through one farm to the second one and you're there.
Tight Lines!

following on from lenton's driections: after passing under the A-road the right turn is immediately after Axminster carpets, you cant miss it, called Abbey Lane.
drive right to the end of the land and park on the grass verge a little distance up from the static caravan.
The little porch on the front of the house has a little wooden box to put the £5 in.

Sea trout have been seen out at sea nearby. There will be some up at Abbey Gate for sure. Spring tides will have pushed them up there.

Had a look on google maps, just wondering where the top and bottom of the beat are.
