Good for families

A perfect site for accessing the best of Lower Wensleydale.

This site is ideally situated to access the Town of Leyburn (on foot), which provides access to 'The Little White Bus' which you can use to access Hawes, Ripon, Bedale, Masham, Richmond and many other areas of the Yorkshire Dales and beyond. Probably the best real pub (Not food) is within 5 minutes walk. Open twice a day and serving good ales and spirits (cash only), but welcoming all, including pets. The site itself is always well run and maintained and there is a choice of pitches (under trees, in the open, elevated, secluded). The staff are extremely helpful and outgoing. The entrance road puts many off, but I have always approached it carefully and thoughtfully and had no issues. I am aware that people following Sat-nav when approaching from Bellerby have been directed down the narrow lane past Cow Close Farm. Do not do it. Travel into Leyburn and take the A684 towards Bedale. The ONLY way in is the minor road in front of The Pheasant Inn at Harmby (1 mile from Leyburn), over a bridge then left up the hill to the site gate. I love this site and this area. This is not Hawes and has its own character.

Thanks - endorse directions, go to Harmby. Site is quiet and well spaced. Toilet block is clean and warm. Staff are helpful and friendly. There is a nice walk from the site to Leyburn avoiding the main road. In Leyburn head to the Bolton Arms for beer and to the Posthorn for cakes.
