Ban Brook is a modest 7km stream offering intimate fishing for coarse species in what appears to be a relatively unspoilt chalk or limestone watercourse. The presence of chub and dace suggests good habitat diversity with both pool and run sections, ideal for both summer evening rise fishing and winter nymph work. A characterful small river that rewards patient anglers with quality sport.
