Heathfield caravan park
Pateley bridge

  • Excellently-maintained site in the Nidderdale valley
  • Direct access to the Nidderdale Way; 1.5 miles from Pateley Bridge
  • Spectacular views, large pitches, shop, library and spotless amenities
Who’s up for hikes and strolls in the Nidderdale valley, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty very close to the Nidderdale Way? If this is very much your sort of hol, Heathfield Caravan Park is your place. Set within the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the wooded valley of Upper Nidderdale, Heathfield is a popular but peaceful place in a green setting of walks and bike rides, horse riding and fishing. It’s a mile and a half’s walk from the park to the small and famed town of Pateley Bridge, passing along the banks of the River Nidd and Foster Beck; once in town – you may be interested to hear – Pateley Bridge is home to the oldest sweet shop in the country... And the amenities? ‘The cleanest I’ve used’ and ‘some of the best facilities we've come across’ are just a teeny selection of former guests’ opinions on the Heathfield ablutions: toilets, hot showers, a washing-up area and a modern laundry room with washing machine, tumble dryer and ironing facilities available at all hours. Also on site, in the reception building, is a library where guests can pick up a book to keep (please leave a donation in the charity box) and browse through sheaves of info on local attractions, bus times and places to eat. Reception also has a shop selling groceries, toiletries and essentials; supermarkets and restaurants are in Pateley Bridge.

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked The site is in a beautiful location which is extremely quiet and very presented and kept. The pitch was a great size and had electric, water and TV aerial. The shower and WC facilities were excellent and spotlessly clean, with staff attending several times during the day and evening. The staff extremely friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Max sorted out a problem with our gas and TV and Heather was also very polite we will definitely be returning soon.

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked Everything. This caravan park is the best site we have stayed in by far. The showers are spotless clean. They really are home from home. Also the site is well looked after. I would give the whole site 100% from the staff ,the site, and the shower blocks. I would definitely without a doubt stay here again.

Disliked Absolutely nothing to dislike. And believe me I can usually find a fault somewhere but certainly not here.

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked The site was extremely well kept and clean. The facilities were excellent and the staff were friendly and really helpful. It is right beside a river which runs down to Pately Bridge village. There is a footpath which leads down to the village about 1/2 hour walk.
Although we did not have a dog, they were also well catered for which included a wash/ shower and very large dog walk within the site.
We really enjoyed the beautiful scenery and the relaxing sound of the river running by.

Great experience

Local attractions

Pateley Bridge is the starting and finishing point for the Nidderdale Way, 53 miles of walking, cycling and horse riding trails. Have some time in town too before or after your hike to visit the Nidderdale Museum, the art and design museums in King Street, the pool and gym… and that aforementioned historic sweet shop. As it’s Yorkshire, there are historical highlights aplenty: Ripley Castle and its Capability Brown landscaped gardens are 25 minutes’ drive away, towards Harrogate, and the 12th-century Augustinian Bolton Abbey (30 minutes) also has nature trails winding through Strid Wood and to the hunting lodge of Barden Tower. Also take your historical curiosity to the dungeon depths of medieval Skipton Castle (35 minutes), and to the stately homes and gardens of Newby Hall and Harewood House, 35 and 45 minutes away. A must-see is Yorkshire’s first UNESCO World Heritage Site, the spectacular Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal (20 minutes), home to one of the biggest abbey ruins in the country and a medieval park with 500 deer. Going underground? Caves, gorges and geological sites are all around too: try How Stean Gorge and its roaring waterfalls and Tom Taylor’s Cave (15 minutes), or the Gordale Scar gorge 55 minutes away. And if you're tired and thirsty after all that... head to Harrogate (40 minutes), to sup some spa waters and mash a tea at Betty’s Tea Rooms.
