River Tees · Yorkshire bank

Tees South

A varied stretch below Barnard Castle, combining more difficult upper access with easier fishing downstream.

River Tees

The beat runs from the Riverview Leisure Park at Barnard Castle to approximately 300 metres east of Manyfold Beck, near the bend in the river by North Park Cottage on Mortham Lane. The section near Abbey Bridge is difficult to access because of the sheer cliff face, while the lower section is more readily reached from the public footpath.

Fishing approachWading is possible on the downstream section, but further upstream there are some very deep pools. Take particular care when assessing water depth and conditions.
