Parking points
The most convenient and central place to park when fishing Cardrona is at the car park just off the A72 . If you are approaching from Peebles or Innerleithen on the A72, look out for the signs to Cardrona near to the hotel and golf course, take this junction and the car park is about 50 yards on your left (blue marker on map). Our fishing is on the opposite bank (true right bank) both above and below the road bridge. Cross the road bridge or old railway bridge to access our fishing.
A further parking spot is available at the bottom of the beat and is marked on the beat map. This is accessed via Leeburn View in the new Cardrona Village. Follow the cycleway signs which take you down Leeburn View. This is a residential area and please don’t park in residents parking spaces. Continue just off the cul-de-sac onto the cycleway and park off the cycleway either by the cycle pump track or else further down the cycleway by the Scottish Water reed beds on the right (blue marker on map). Please don’t block access. Please be careful as this path can be busy with cyclists and walkers. This is useful for accessing the Craig Stream, Nutwood and Lower Nutwood pools.
