Road closure on approach to The Howard, Rosedale Abbey Caravan Club Site

Published: 06 September 2010

We have recently been advised by the local Highways Authority that the road between Cropton and Rosedale village will be closed entirely from 6 September to mid afternoon on 10 September, and from 13 September to mid afternoon 17 September for road works.  You may wish to amend your booking, but if this is not possible we would advise you follow a different route to the site as follows:

Leave the A170 Pickering - Thirsk road just to the East of Kirbymoorside at Keldholme, and head North on the road signposted "Hutton le Hole" and "Castleton".  This is a good road and you should continue for several miles, through Hutton le Hole, and carry straight on towards Castleton. Pass the Lion Inn high on the moors at Blakey Ridge, and take the first right turn after that pub signposted Rosedale Abbey.  Continue down into the valley, taking care as you go because the road is narrow in places but quite suitable for caravans and motorhomes. Go through the village of Rosedale and you'll find the site on your right.

Please don't be tempted to try the moor road from Hutton le Hole to Rosedale Abbey because of the very steep hill called "Chimney Bank" into Rosedale, which is not suitable for a caravan or motorcaravan.
