A Stunning Setting for Unforgettable Fishing
Nestled on the breathtaking Swinton Estate in North Yorkshire, our school boasts an incredible variety of fishing spots. From our casting tuition lake to the Leighton Reservoir and the pristine Swinton River Ure and River Burn beats, every location promises adventure. As part of the 20,000-acre estate, guests also enjoy access to the luxurious Swinton Park Hotel, Swinton Bivouac, and Swinton Country Club & Spa—perfect for unwinding after a day on the water.
A Passion for Sharing the Joy of Fishing
Founded in 2019 by Marina Gibson, Northern Fishing School was born from a simple yet powerful vision: to introduce as many people as possible to the magic of fishing. Marina believes it’s a fun, affordable way to relieve stress and escape the daily grind—no matter your age or experience level.
Our Mission: Making Fishing Accessible to All
We’re on a mission to break down barriers and showcase fishing as a wholesome, inclusive activity. In a world dominated by screens, fishing offers a chance to reconnect with nature and break free from routine. Our immersive fishing experiences—from planning your trip to reliving the day’s highlights—create lasting memories. It’s the perfect family outing, where kids not only learn to fish but also develop a deep respect for our natural ecosystems.
