Welcome to our home page please take a look around. If you have any questions do not hesitate to call or email us!
Farnley Estate Riding Mill is a really special place. Your hosts Donna, John and Neil welcome our guests in 2025.
Our estate is nestled in our own valley situated on the main Tyne. We are just off the A695 between Riding Mill and Corbridge Northumberland. If you are looking for fishing holidays from spring to autumn we offer nearly a mile of the Tyne on good productive fly waters. Our guests come in pursuit of the Tyne salmon and sea-trout. Also on our land are some really lovely private lakes which are occasionally let for use. Farnley Estate is an established destination for over 25 years.
In 2024 we set about upgrading our eco lodge and now new faces have enjoyed the estate combining, fishing, bird watching, swimming and paddle boarding in our lakes. Now in 2025 we are enjoying a healthy demand for lettings. The eco lodge is beautifully updated just minutes from the river in blissful surroundings overlooking the lakes. (Our lodge sleeps up to 5 in two double and one single bed £440 for three or four nights dependant on guests following or not.) The response to our new facilities last year has been excellent and encourages us to keep upping our game!
Our offer is this, three days exclusive use from Monday to Wednesday for three rods or Thursday to Saturday (letting cost shared between two or three anglers).
Peace and relaxation guaranteed.
Our prices range from £540 April, £600 May, £700 June , as of current availability 4th January 2025 we currently have 6 spaces free in June and May, April is lightly booked currently. We do get March visitors and fish do come over the Riding Mill fish pass nowadays with the warmer springs!
As the season progresses and the salmon and sea-trout runs increase July costs £900, August and September £990 finally October £900 we can discount as the season tails off dependant on demand.
We currently have available three day lets free: July 2 lets, August 3 lets, September 0 let, October 3 lets. If you are interested please email bookings@farnleyestate.co.uk

Early in the season Tyne springers are legendary big shouldered fish and good takers. So why travel huge distances north when the Tyne is much closer and its runs are holding up well. The natural breeding on the Tyne is now as good as it should be, we understand this from some of our guests who as fishery scientists who understand the catchment extremely well). Fishing for these early fish requires patience and persistence, watching the likely lies for upstream movement. Typically runs are generally half a dozen a day depending on tides and water height moving to 15 average in May and these can linger in the beat (we get good regular information from the EA Tyne Scientist on the Tyne counter which is half a mile below us with regard to fish movements)
Over the years the beat has has witnessed quite a few lost after long long battles (you are warned)especially in the Spring when they seem to have incredible power and energy levels they just don't give up!
The beat has had some whoppers over the years plenty of twenties and some some up to 36lb and a 19lb Sea Trout by one of the previous owners, twenties are by no means unusual here and mostly they are in the teens. As the year progresses grilse sea trout and summer salmon are around in June, July and a few in August. We have only been fairly lightly fished in the past 3 springs however with steady water and not too much bad weather we can fish.

We have two main owner lakes which might interest the visiting angler? The lakes can be let with our lodge which is very popular .

We are close to road, rail and air links. From London a five hour drive , 3 hours on the train Kings Cross to Newcastle Central and an hour from Heathrow or other UK airports to Newcastle (Bristol, Gatwick , Southampton), from Europe: Paris , Amsterdam and Brussels , Barcelona . We are only then a 25min drive due west from Newcastle Upon Tyne on the A68 , our proximity to the Roman Wall means we are in an area steeped in history and beauty with great places to stay with really friendly Northumbrian people great food and accommodation. So an ideal place to take a non fishing partner stop in our lodge and let them go and explore!
