Things to Do Fishing

About Balderhead

Enjoy a refreshing break in the open air, whether walking or fishing.

Surrounded by the fantastic scenery of the North Pennine grouse moors, this tranquil space is perfect for de-stressing, boosting your vitamin D intake and exploring the landscape or wild brown trout fishing around the reservoir.

With no two visits the same, a family day out at Balderhead Reservoir inspires whatever the season. Set your imagination free as you explore the vivid flora and fauna that surrounds you in this Teesdale based haven. Balderhead is also the perfect spot for some epic stargazing.

Dogs are very welcome at Balderhead but must be kept on leads.
