There's Marlcliffe, turn right at the sharp bend in village and follow your nose down track to the river. Easy parking. For barbel I think most blokes go downstream towards the weir, though not many pegs that way I don't think. I have had barbel from the pegs right next to the car park but usually go upstream a bit towards Bidford.

In general I fish for whatever swims past and don't target a particular species as such, and always weekdays so it is quieter. Parks Farm on the Evesham by-pass is another haunt, you do have some traffic noise depending how close to the bridge over the river you are but have the place to myself most times. Park next to river but not necessarily by your peg. BAA sign on access gate downstream side of the bridge.

Wood Norton, between Evesham and Fladbury, pretty deep here but easy parking and a short walk to the river, there is a BAA sign but the entrance is a bit concealed and easy to fly past., I usually miss it first time. Been the only one there in the past. A couple more access points between here and Fladbury but not sure what it's like, again, blink and you missed them.

Fladbury....have been twice this week, downstream of the bridge, plenty of pegs and only 3 or 4 more blokes there so not busy, virtually park behind your peg. Mainly small perch but a tench a whisker short of 4lb 8oz and a similar size bream. Quite a few boats the one day I must admit, not that it's a problem. Bidford RB was mentioned in another post , quite right it is a reasonable walk, especially if you carry loads of gear, but have had this place to myself as well .
