Nutwith stretch of the River Ure

Nutwith is a cracking four-mile, single-bank stretch of the River Ure on Swinton Estate land near Swinton and Masham. Day tickets are available, with salmon and grayling booked through FishPal and trout arranged specially.

Run by Swinton Estate · checked 7 Oct 2026

The lowdown

  • This is the named Nutwith stretch of the River Ure, rather than the Estate’s separate River Burn water. Nice and clear, then.
  • The fishing length runs to 4 miles, giving plenty of river to explore. It’s single-bank water, so access is on one side only.
  • The setting is North Yorkshire countryside around Swinton, Masham and Nutwith Cote Wood. Geograph places the western bank near Grewelthorpe.
  • Species named by the Estate are salmon, wild brown trout and grayling. That’s the proper Ure mix here.
  • The Estate says salmon numbers have increased following river management. It also reports improved water quality over the last 35 years.
  • Habitat work has been carried out with Yorkshire Dales Rivers Trust. A smolt-release programme has also been undertaken on the river.
  • The Estate says juvenile salmon densities at some sites now rival those of leading UK salmon rivers. Encouraging stuff for the river’s salmon fishing.
  • Trout fishing isn’t available as a normal online booking. It needs arranging specially with FishPal or directly with Swinton Estate.
  • The Estate doesn’t publish a peg count, detailed parking instructions or night-fishing rules. Best to sort those details before travelling.
  • Don’t mix this up with the River Burn. That separate Estate water has over 6 miles of double-bank fishing and joins the Ure just south of Masham.
  • We're not sure on ticket prices for this one — check with the club or local regulations before you leave.

Methods: The stretch is offered for salmon, wild brown trout and grayling fishing. Book salmon and grayling day tickets through FishPal; arrange trout fishing specially with FishPal or Swinton Estate.
