        Mine would be Factory Bank in Ramsey. Got to be steeper than 45 degrees and a 15 foot drop from the road to the water with no easy way of getting down the the swim. your box has to be set up in a tiny ledge at the bottom

          The trees section at porth must be a contender.

            at Elton resevoir we all had to make special platforms to fish it

              Some of the pegs on the River Wye around the town and the Belmont Section and The River severn at Bridgnorth = 3 storey lift required!

                Another vote for Factory Bank. The narrows on the 40 foot are quite steep too.

                  Severn at Bridgnorth- another vote.
                  Especially peg 178 just below the rapids on the Golf Course section- full mountaineering kit comes in handy.
                  Some areas of the Mole and Cherwell take prizes for height above water as a proportion of width of river

                    River Medway, Mole and Porth Res.

                    MikeS.

                      Got to be River Wye at Belmont as Paddy says

                      Some of the banks of the Severn are similar though

                            Steep banks on Gearys Level at packington – the concrete slope on the dam wall at Naseby can be a bit tricky too 🙂

                              There is a peg on the Derwent at Matlock Derbyshire which I drew once and had to climb down 12 to 15 feet of a ladder to fish from a small concrete slab at the base of it.

                                1st time i fished the tidal trent, im thinking these banks are high & steep but slid down with my wicker basket & started to fish, then the tide came in & i then relised why the banks are so steep~naughty

                                  Monkton park high 30s Chippenham stretch of the Avon.

                                  River Parot langport. Not that steep but very dangerous when river is low.

                                      River Wye at Belmont, as Paddy says. Or the River Teme at Broadwas.

                                          Got to be the poxy Medway,fished a peg on there last year that a mountain goat would refuse to tackle and then when you finally get there you find 6 metres of blanket weed! Never again.

                                            River Wharfe in Tadcaster or Bristol Docks – Welsh back, vertical concrete banks and you’re at least 10ft above the water.

                                              Besides the NATWEST

                                              Early pegs at Cuttle Brook and Barrow Village on Trent(old Derby AA) also some pegs on sect 2 of the old Coventry DAA at Thrumpton (but they were brilliant chub pegs in the early 80’s)
