  • Peaceful rural site on a 120-acre working farm in Sinnington
  • On the edge of the North York Moors under an hour's drive from York
  • Walking trails around the farm for gorgeous Ryedale views
If you're the sort whose ideal rural break features not only heaps of peaceful space and gorgeous views but also a pub within walking distance and a bare minimum of narrow lanes to negotiate, Cliff Farm Holidays could well be the one for you. Access to this North Yorkshire site is pleasingly easy – just take a very short detour off the A170 and you'll be rewarded with 120 acres of working arable and beef farm. There’s stunning scenery at every turn, and the folk here have made the most of their Ryedale views by setting up walking trails around the farm leading to some of the prettiest corners. Walking’s also a great way to get to the nearest pub, a mere 15-minute stroll away in Sinnington, or to take in the trails of the North York Moors National Park, whose boundaries are a mile or so away. To grab a fish supper or stock up for your evening barbecue, it's a 10-minute drive to Pickering’s shops, supermarket and chippie. Days out can be any combo of coast, country and city that you fancy concocting: the seaside’s 45 minutes’ drive away at Scarborough, and York's historic streets are just under an hour away. Stately homes, animal park, heritage train rides and adventure parks are all in the local area, too. Facilities on site include a toilet block with showers and an accessible/family bathroom, a laundry room and a covered washing-up area. Well-behaved dogs are welcome to join you but must be on a lead at all times; there’s a dog run and mess bin provided.

Electric optional gravel touring pitch

Liked: Nice site, well located within easy driving distance of Pickering and the surrounding area. Easily accessible site with the caravan. Good number of hard standing pitches. Good amenity block and facilities.
Excellent walks around the farm land all well sign posted. Excellent with those wanting dog walks on site.

Disliked: No real dislikes. You pay for your electric on arrival but felt the lower pitch fees accommodated this so no real issue. We used approximately £20 of electric over a 4 night stay in February.

Electric optional gravel touring pitch

Liked: A lovely working farm.
Lots of animals to see.
Quiet site.
Owner came over to show us our pitch .
The shower and toilet area very clean and modern. But only 2 showers.
We really enjoyed our stay.

Disliked: Not really a dislike but did the walking route attached to the farm as it was by side of field could be quite uneven and red route came to dead end as overgrown.

Local attractions

Get set for action – there’s a whole heap of countryside antics to be had in the surrounds. The North York Moors National Park is a mile way, with all manner of trails for walkers and cyclists to roam along, and other activities including rock climbing, caving and abseiling. Those who’d like to trot around on horseback need only stroll up to Sinnington for a stables with pony rides, lessons and rural hacks. A top pick for those with a daredevil streak is Dalby Forest (25 minutes' drive), home to a Go Ape adventure park and mountain bike centre. For something a little more leisurely, take a stately stroll around Castle Howard or steam through the scenery on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway; both are about half an hour away. Something for the small sorts? Take a foray around Flamingo Land theme park and zoo (15 minutes) or see the big birds in action at the National Centre for Birds of Prey (20 minutes). Stacks of seaside frolics are 45 minutes away in Scarborough, and there's plenty to see in York (50 minutes) too.
