The fish in the picture is trying to jump the weir in the river below Pendarren House. It has spent 3 years in the sea and is now returning to where it was hatched. It will not feed on this journey. Exhausted, it may eventually make it back to the sea.

We will make sure your Pendarren Experience is not quite so difficult!

The fish does not consider why it is making the journey – but we hope you will:
