Fishing Lakes at Woodhouse Farm Holiday Park

Set within the peaceful countryside of North Yorkshire, the two fishing lakes at Woodhouse Farm Holiday Park offer the perfect setting for a relaxing fishing break. Whether you are staying in one of our static caravans by the fishing lake or visiting for the day, the lakes provide a well-maintained and rewarding experience for anglers of all abilities.

With dedicated fishing pegs around both lakes, you can settle in comfortably and enjoy uninterrupted time by the water, surrounded by wildlife and open countryside.

The main lake, located at the top of the dog walk, has recently been refurbished and restocked to improve both the fishing experience and fish health. The smaller lake, tucked behind the sheep meadow near the woodland, offers a quieter, more secluded option for those looking to escape and unwind.

Across both lakes, you will find a healthy mix of species including Common, Crucian and Mirror Carp, along with Roach, Rudd, Chub and Perch – making it an ideal spot for both dedicated anglers and families enjoying a fishing holiday in Yorkshire.
