The river also provides good fishing for bream, and tommy rough right at the front door (40m). Vivonne Bay provides surf and jetty fishing for whiting, salmon, mullet and many other species.

Just across the river from the house is a well equipped Outdoor centre with surfboards, canoe hire and quad bike tours etc.
