Eryholme is a very small hamlet and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England, lying on the low-lying floodplain of the River Tees close to Croft-on-Tees and Dalton-on-Tees. The placename ending “-holme” hints at its riverside meadow or island origins, and the settlement has medieval roots; in more recent transport history it lent its name to Eryholme Junction, where the branch line ran off towards Richmond.
Today the parish remains largely agricultural, with scattered farms and a tiny population whose social life often links to neighbouring villages. The area’s quiet Teesdale character is punctuated by twentieth-century landmarks nearby, notably Croft Circuit and the former RAF Croft, and its riverside lanes and footpaths make it a pleasant spot for walkers seeking rural North Yorkshire scenery.
