  • Small quiet family-run site on a hill farm in the Yorkshire Dales
  • Top spot for the Yorkshire Three Peaks with direct access to trails
  • Cooked breakfasts, packed lunches and homemade cake sold on site
Three peaks before breakfast? That might not be possible (let alone pleasant) but the paths to two of the famed Yorkshire Three Peaks start less than five minutes' drive away from this quiet site on a family-run hill farm in the Yorkshire Dales. Philpin Farm is a 10-minute drive from Ingleton and the Ribblehead Viaduct, on the route of the Settle-Carlisle Railway. The site is small and two-tiered, with accommodation areas at the bottom and top of a small hill (the car park is near the top area as no cars are allowed on the field). The farm's barn is available for eating and mingling in, and it's home to a snack bar on weekends; you can also order cooked breakfasts and packed lunches, buy homemade cakes, even socks, gloves, hats and rain ponchos if you've come under-prepared. The barn also has vending machines that are open 24 hours per day, so that's your midnight snack sorted. Barbecues are allowed on site if raised off the ground (strictly no fires). The only other strict rule is the farm's no-noise policy at night: please let everyone savour the peace of this very special place. There's a welcoming 17th-century inn five minutes' walk away, more of the same, plus shops and a chip shop in Ingleton.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Good location, owners were nice and friendly and amenable. Well kept for farm site.

Disliked Not many flat spots. Can be busy / noisy with DoE / young adventurers / 3 peak users. The kids were quiet, but the 'leaders' were noisy. Particularly one (im in charge type) who liked the sound of his own voice!

Liked Everything about this place is great. Out of the way quiet working farm, spotlessly clean, great facilities. The owners are really nice as well. Been before and will go again.

Disliked The weather wasn't brilliant, but there's nothing anyone can do about that one.

Recommend to friends Visit again

The owners were so friendly. There were some lovely thoughtful extras.

Local attractions

For committed peak baggers, trails up to Ingleborough and Whernside run just by the farm, and the starting point for third peak, Pen-y-ghent, is 15 minutes' drive away. While some mark off their scorecards and leave, others stay and explore this area stuffed with wonders both natural and man-made. The Settle-Carlisle Railway, and its transit over the mighty Ribblehead Viaduct, marks a meeting of human endeavour and landscape: don't miss a chance to take one of the world's great rides: 73 miles through remote and sometimes jaw-dropping scenery from Ribblehead, five minutes' drive away, or Settle (half an hour). If you're up for something more active, it's 10 minutes into Ingleton for tours of the White Scar Caves and the trail to the waterfalls. Heading further westwards towards the Forest of Bowland, it's a 45-minute drive to paths up Bowland's highest point, White Hill for views of Dales, Lakes and even sometimes, the sea. The area is popular with cyclists, too, with numerous bike routes through Gisburn Forest starting from the Forest Hub café, also 45 minutes away. If water's more your element, it's half an hour to Semer Water for coarse and brown trout fishing, canoeing and windsurfing and if you're a tad peckish after all that outdoor stuff you could head up to Hawes (20 minutes) and sample the cheesy delights of the Wensleydale Creamery.
