Arrow Bank offers a slower pace of life and therefore the park is peaceful - a real haven of relaxation.
The river Arrow gently winds its way through the black & white Tudor village, and passes through Arrow Bank Holiday Park Herefordshire, giving the opportunity to catch a trout or two. The Mayfly hatch on the river and, should you be lucky enough to see it, it can only be described as spectacular.
Take a five minute walk to the village pub and enjoy home-cooked meals, washed down with a gin and tonic or a glass of ale, or enjoy a game of bowls on the green by the church. The villagers are very friendly, and love to stop and chat.The area offers a variety of attractions; the unspoilt countryside.
Fishing on park
The River Arrow, meandering through the park, is a delight to fish. Proof that it's not always about catching the one that got away, passing the time in delightful surroundings can be just as rewarding.
There are a number of species to fish; Trout and Grayling are plentiful and also plenty of Chubb in the Arrow. There are some Dace and a few small Pike in the lower half of the river towards Leominster.
Fishing from March 14th to June 16th is limited to fly fishing only. From June 16th to March 14th it is Course Fishing Open Season.
