  • Spacious dog-friendly site with spectacular views over the Pennine Way
  • Within easy reach of the Yorkshire Dales and the Forest of Bowland
  • Dog exercise area; two minutes' walk from the local pub
Thinking of visiting the Yorkshire Dales National Park? Or maybe the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty? How about both? Willowbeck Farm, on the edge of the little North Yorkshire village of Wigglesworth, is neatly located between the two, putting guests within easy reach of lots of scenic areas for walks, bike trails and horse riding. (Need tips on the top spots? Try the spectacular surrounds of Malham Cove or the Ingleton Waterfalls Trail, both around half an hour’s drive away). Town attractions and amenities are handily nearby too: you’re five miles from the market town of Settle (where there’s also a supermarket if you don’t happen to be passing by on a market day) and around a half-hour drive from Skipton and Clitheroe for castle visits and plenty of independent shops to poke around in. Back at base, you’ll be staying on a small, quiet and well-maintained adults-only site with smart toilet and shower facilities and a dog exercise area. If you fancy heading out for a meal or a drink, there are a couple of country inns nearby, with the very popular Plough Inn roughly two minutes' walk from site. Please be mindful that this is a rural site and the digital TV signal is very weak. Although there's no wifi here, there's usually great 5G mobile data coverage on site.

What customers say

This is a small, quiet, adult-only campsite set in beautiful countryside with lovely views. Visitors praised the spotlessly clean facilities, spacious pitches, and the friendly, helpful owners. A significant highlight is the close proximity to The Plough Inn, a popular pub serving excellent food. The site is well-maintained, offers a dog exercise area, and is a convenient base for exploring the Yorkshire Dales. Minor points include occasional road noise and limited toilet/shower facilities when the site is busy.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Easy access, large pitches and not too close together
There's a pub within easy walking distance although if you want food I'd suggest getting there we'll before food closing times
The chef was gone by the time we arrived

Disliked The road was quite busy and tractors were belting along a narrow road. Wouldn't like to meet one whilst towing the caravan

Gail B.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked What a beautiful well kept site! Spotlessly clean, wonderfully peaceful and relaxing. Dog friendly pub close by and close to a bus stop. We went into Settle. The busses are small, very helpful and comfortable but check the times - easy on line. Some people talk about road noise - it’s only really the occasional tractor that’s loud. We didn’t find it an issue. The owner was very helpful and friendly. Would definitely go back

Disliked If the site was full one loo and shower might be a bit tricky but it wasn’t a problem whilst we were there.

Local attractions

There are heaps of options around here if you’d like to stretch your legs – head a few minutes’ drive west for the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty or east to the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Popular spots include Gisburn Forest (15 minutes' drive), Malham Cove and Tarn (25 minutes) and Janet’s Foss waterfall (25 minutes). To delve under the Dales, head to Ingleborough Cave (25 minutes); stick to the surface for trips to Settle Falconry (15 minutes) or the romantic ruins of 12th-century Bolton Abbey, set in a whopping 30,000-acre park (half an hour). Follow up by heading to Harrogate (50 minutes) to refresh at the famed Betty’s tearooms or Pateley Bridge (50 minutes) to peruse the shelves of The Oldest Sweet Shop In The World. If you’ve overdone the exercise a little while roaming, take it easy for a while by heading to Skipton (25 minutes) to cruise along the Leeds and Liverpool Canal or settle down in a seat on the Settle-Carlisle Railway (10 minutes) for a scenic 73-mile ride through the spectacular countryside.
