SEA

To the Top

Locations; Magor to Newport

This area is in the upper area of the Bristol Channel. This area should be noted for its low warter fishing in the summer and autum. There are high water marks but the better fishing is done over low water on the smallest of tides.

The Marks are; Magor, Redfield, farmfields Goldcliff
