We have just returned from 5 nights stay at Carlton Grange campsite. We took our two dogs and this campsite offered great walks from the site through forests and onto the wonderful open moor. Beautiful scenery overlooking the hilly moors a short distance away, the forests having lots of different wildlife to see if you are lucky. We visited Helmsley a busy market town, lots of individual shops to look around, fish and chips and market on Fridays. Thirsk a short distance away another great town and lots of little picturesque villages. The best part for me though was being able to bicycle with my dogs through the quiet country lanes onto the moors, just mind-blowing even in the wind and rain, much to the annoyance of one of my dogs :) The site itself was quiet, flat and shaded with trees. We will DEFINITELY be returning.
