About
Derwent is located just off the A68, four miles west of Castleside and nine miles from the A69, and is our most popular fishery. There is lots of bank space to choose from for the perfect spot and the dam wall is available for coarse anglers. Permits can be purchased online via Waterside Parks North or from the shop on arrival.
Please note your EA rod licence must be purchased online at Fishing Licences before fishing at one of our sites. Due to government changes we are no longer able to sell a rod licence at our Waterside Parks.
