About
**Due to continued essential upgrades to our overflows at Grassholme there will be no access for anglers or visitors to the dam wall and access to the north shore will only be from the western end car park**
Lying in the picturesque rolling pastures of upper Teesdale, near Mickleton and close to Barnard Castle, Grassholme Waterside Park is firmly established as one of the top any method fisheries in the region. Tickets can be purchased online via https://bookwhen.com/watersideparksnorth or at the lodge
Please note your EA rod licence must be purchased online at https://www.gov.uk/fishing-licences/buy-a-fishing-licence 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.
