  • Wildlife to spot on site; two village pubs within a half-hour walk
Woodland, wildlife, walks and wonderful views in the Yorkshire Wolds – set on three acres of land in the Yorkshire Wolds, Keepers House is a splendid place for a peaceful outdoor break. There’s heaps of space for wildlife and guests alike at this family-run rural site between the villages of Kilham and Rudston. You’ll share the space with the resident pet ducks and chickens, and will often hear other birds like owls or woodpeckers and spot red kites flying overhead. At ground level, there are protected bat and badger colonies on site and deer have been spotted around the place too. To keep things nice and natural for the local wildlife, facilities on site have purposely been made low key – guests have access to portable toilets and picnic tables, along with a barn that’s got water and electric points and is a cosy place to gather on a damp night (it’s also got space to dry your clothes if you’ve got soggy while out and about). With plenty of space to go around, you’ll also be able to set up your pitch as you wish, perhaps setting up an awning and bringing along a firepit to warm up your stargazing sessions. Both of the local villages are about a mile and a half away, and both have pubs where you can refresh after making the walk there. Kilham also has a playground, tennis courts and a handy local garage shop; for more major stocking-up you’ll need to head to Driffield, 10 minutes’ drive away.

Local attractions

This is an excellent spot for appreciating some of the simpler pleasures in life, like walking to Rudston (half an hour on foot) for a look at its monolith and a pint in the pub, or heading to Fimber 20 minutes’ drive) to stroll along woodland trails to find its little café in the forest. There are lots more lovely walks and bike rides around too, or you can take a little heritage ride on the Yorkshire Wolds Railway (20 minutes). There are more of those simple pleasures over at the coast too, where you can spend the day splashing about at the beach in Bridlington (15 minutes) or see huge colonies of seabirds at RSPB Bempton Cliffs (25 minutes). And how about dipping into a bit of local history? Burton Agnes Hall is 10 minutes' drive away, and also on a main cycle route for easy bike outings. Sledmere House & Gardens (15 minutes’ drive) is another that’s worth visiting, with a farm shop and animals to meet. For something quite different, wander around the abandoned medieval village Wharram Percy (half an hour).
