"... a fantastic search engine... this is set to become the biggest online venue directory" - Today's Flyfisher, March 2007

Tips for successful searching:

  • Generally the more criteria you enter the fewer results you get and the greater chance of no matches at all. Try just entering the basics to start with (e.g. a county). You can always narrow down if you get too many matches.
  • Don't enter more than one geographic level. Enter a town, or a county or a region.
  • County names change and boundaries move. If you can't find a venue under a particular county, try looking under its old/new county name or try the county next door.
  • Are you sure of your spelling? Is it Avington or Avingdon? Try just entering the 1st few letters you are sure of e.g. Avi
  • Is it Esthwaite lake, Esthwaite loch, Esthwaite lough or Esthwaite water? We may disagree so try just entering some of the main part of the venue name e.g esth
  • Not every venue is fully researched just yet so searching on anything other than venue name and/or geography will exclude all those where the additional information is not yet complete.
 

Enter a distance in miles and a valid postcode in the format 'AA99 9AA' to search for venues within a given distance from your postcode. Please note that only venues with a valid postcode will be displayed.

Enter a postcode without a distance to have distances to venues calculated without constraining your search.

Distance calculation requires the latitude & longitude of your postcode to be looked up against a 3rd party server and this may take a few seconds.
