| LECHLADE |
| The fishery is located in the beautiful Cotswold countryside 5 minutes outside Lechlade on the the A361 to Burford (see map here). Lechlade is a small market town on the River Thames in Gloucestershire at the southern edge of the Cotswolds. It gets its name from the river Leach which joins the Thames nearby. Set in an area of outstanding natural beauty, it is still within easy access to Swindon, Cirencester, Cheltenham, Burford, Oxford and only an hour away from London, Birmingham and Bristol . |

THE RIVER THAMES
The River Thames has always been at the heart of the town. Lechlade was on the salt way, when salt used to be brought by road from Droitwich and shipped down the Thames from Lechlade. Later, cheese, wool and coal were shipped down to London. The construction of the Thames and Severn Canal in 1789 meant Lechlade was on a busy trade route. The canal, now disused, joins the Thames at Inglesham, a few miles west of Lechlade and funds are being sought to restore the canal and the lock at Inglesham. Today, the river brings visitors to the town in narrow boats and cruisers. There are boats for hire and there are river cruises during the summer. |
