River Axe Access Information:
The river Axe is tidal up as far as the road bridge near Boshill cross, Colyton.
The River Axe, Grade 1 in normal conditions, is a narrow river that winds through beautiful
countryside. It is a major fishing river whose Clubs and Members pay a
high level of subscription for fishing rights, hence it is closed to
canoeing during the fishing season from March to October inclusive. It has
a 5.5 mile stretch for which access has been agreed outside the fishing
season.
There
is no right of way or access over farmland through which the river flows,
except in emergency.
