The “Ginger Beer” beat is a figurehead for the River Test and is one of the best beats on the entire river. This beat has a long history going back to the “Domsday Book” which dates back to the 11th century. This very productive beat is a little over 500m long and has a medium flow rate. The beat starts with a very deep pool and then becomes significantly shallower. Aside from the upper pool, you can see the bottom of the river almost everywhere, and with it the fish that this beat is holding.

The fishery has an equipped thatched fishing hut with a well-tended lawn in front of it. The very beautiful and private location makes this beat an excellent destination for smaller groups.

The village of Kimbridge is located between the two towns of Romsey and Stockbridge, right on the River Test. This area is known as the “Middle Test” and is one of the best sections of the river. The fishery is accessed via a private road that takes you to a private car park.

The river is considered the home of modern fly fishing and its high quality fishing made the river world famous. Its calcareous water and the many underwater plants offer an ideal habitat for trout and grayling. But it is also home to Atlantic salmon.
