The property has land at the river's edge where the owners currently have approximately 600 yards of single bank fishing - this extra land and fishing rights are available via separate negotiation. The location is idyllic in the midst of this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty yet offers easy reach to the market towns of Ross-on-Wye and Monmouth. The road links from this area to Newport and Bristol are excellent and the motorway network is accessed at Ross-on-Wye. There are primary schools and a village shop in nearby Goodrich and Walford. Monmouth is renowned for the excellent Haberdashers' Schools and the town has an excellent range of independent shops and supermarkets. Approximate distances: Ross-on-Wye 3.5 miles Monmouth 7 miles Hereford 18 miles Gloucester 19 miles Chepstow 20 miles THE PROPERTY Kerne Lodge was the home of Robert Pashley, the renowned 'Wizard of the Wye', the most successful salmon fisherman in the history of the river Wye, with over 10,000 salmon to his name. The property is believed to date back to the 17th century though most of it dates from the 19th century. It has been elegantly updated under current ownership whilst retaining the charm and character of former years. The main rooms all have fantastic views across the river and fields to Goodrich Castle. The kitchen-breakfast room has been opened up to provide a superb, contemporary space with a bespoke kitchen with granite work-surfaces and a Britannia range cooker; in the breakfast area is the wood-burning stove in the stone fireplace. There is a walk-in pantry just off the kitchen and a former servants' passage now housing a utility room, office, workshop area and cloakroom. The dining room offers a well-proportioned and more formal space for dining; a door leads through to the main hallway. The main entrance hall features a stairway with curved mahogany handrails with hand- carved wooden claws to the first tread of the stairs. The impressive sitting room is over 33' long, with polished wooden floors, marble fireplace with a Clearview wood- burning stove and French windows leading out to the terrace and gardens. The galleried landing is wonderfully light, with windows to the front and rear. To one side of the landing is the master suite: a superb bedroom with a dressing room and recently re-modelled en-suite bathroom. The en- suite is elegantly-presented, complete with a spa bath to one end and large walk-in shower area to the other. There are three further bedrooms, two of which have en-suites. There is also a family bathroom on this floor. OUTSIDE The property is approached via the driveway that sweeps uphill to the double garage and parking area. A steel and glass balustrade in front of the house offers stunning views across the river and beyond. The terrace leads to the level area of lawn, sheltered by the trees above, among which rhododendrons add splashes of colour amidst the many specimen trees planted there. The path leads on through the grounds, past the ruins of an old stone bothy, past the greenhouse and lavender hedge to an area where soft fruits grow in abundance. The views glimpsed through the various stopping points along the way are breath- taking. Across the road is the river frontage currently belonging to Kerne Lodge where the owners enjoy single bank fishing rights along the Wye, which makes a handsome addition to the property and generates an income for the owners, who market it through the Wye and Usk Foundation. PRACTICALITIES Council Tax G, Herefordshire Council Mains water Mains electricity Private drainage Oil-fired central heating A footpath runs through the upper area of the garden Fishing rights and river frontage are available subject to separate negotiation DIRECTIONS From the Wilton Roundabout on the A40, follow the A40 south-west towards Monmouth for approximately 3 miles.

  • River Wye SSSI Restoration Technical Report Finaldraftforconsultation
    River Wye SSSI Restoration Technical Report –Draft for Comment Issued for comment January 2015 River Wye SSSI Restoration Technical Report_FinalDraftForConsultation Executive summary Jacobs was commissioned by the Environment Agency to produce separate Technical Reports for the restoration of the Lower Wye and River Lugg. In addition, Management Reports to complement each Technical Report were also produced by Jacobs. This is a Technical Report on the geomorphological assessment of the Lower Wye. The Lower River Wye and is a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and a Special Area of Conservation (SAC). The river is designated due to the presence of grayling, freshwater pearl mussel, white-clawed crayfish, shad, otter, salmon, bullhead, lamprey, various invertebrate assemblages and water-crowfoot communities. The Upper and Middle Wye are also designated, however those reaches lie within Wales and were not investigated for this Technical Report. Reports for the Upper and Middle Wye will be produced separately by Natural Resources Wales (NRW). A combination of all reports will provide a catchment wide restoration strategy for all the SACs and SSSIs in the River Wye catchment. The Lower Wye mainly flows through England; however there is a section around Monmouth that is entirely within Wales. Here the right bank of the river is generally regulated by NRW, whilst the left bank is regulated by Natural England and the Environment Agency. Natural England has subdivided the Lower Wye SSSI into seven management units, six of which are assessed to be in ‘unfavourable condition’. This report is required to assess the current geomorphological condition and pressures on the Lower Wye to inform a Management Report that will provide suggestions to help achieve favourable condition in each of the management units.

  • Glasbury to Chepstow the River Wye, on the England/Wales Border, Is
    Glasbury to Chepstow The river Wye, on the England/Wales border, is one of the least spoiled large rivers in the United Kingdom. In the 17th century an Act of Parliament removed riparian owners rights and confirmed it as a “free and open” navigation up to Hay and it became an important waterway in the early industrial era. Weirs of various degrees of permanence were built to allow large barges to pass and the river must have been fairly polluted. However with the development of canals and railways the commercial traffic disappeared and the river naturally cleansed itself. Over the last century fishermen have pushed to reduce pollution, followed more recently by a new constituency, canoeists. The following is a guide to finding camp sites and access for launching along the main canoe-touring stretch from Glasbury to Chepstow. Compiled from various sources and many paddles. It seemed pretty clean when I first canoed it as a child in about 1970, and was still so when I last did so in Spring 2011. I predict that with increasing numbers of canoeists caring about the river, it will steadily improve. Glasbury From here to Hay access is disputed but the current informal agreement is for canoeing between 10 am and 4pm, leaving the morning and evening for the fishermen. The normal launching point is on the left bank just above the bridge. A fee of 50p per canoe is payable to the post office. 3 miles- Hollybush Inn right Super camp site on the right bank mid-way between Glasbury and Hay.
