Fishery Information
Managed by the York & District Amalgamation of Anglers, Barton Hill Beck is a small, clear flowing stream that is a nice water to fish during spring and summer months.
On the right side of the bank, fishing is from Standing Beck down to Foston Bridge, then from Spital Bridge to one field upstream of the railway, then from Splashwater Bridge to the second plantation. On the left side of the bank, members can fish from Foston Bridge to Spital bridge.
This water is home to wild brown trout, small dace, pockets of chub, minnows and occasional jack pike.
To get there, follow these directions. From York, take the A64 Scarborough road to the bottom of Whitwell Hill.
