  • Dog-friendly adults-only site with a lake seven miles from York
  • Peaceful countryside location near cycling tracks to York and Selby
  • Close to dog-friendly pubs in nearby villages; bus service outside
Whether your holiday plans tend to include peaceful cycles, wildlife spotting or memorable meals out in local pubs, Old Pasture Park is a good base for all of these sorts of things. This peaceful North Yorkshire countryside escape is an adults-only site with its own lake seven miles from York city centre. For pedals there, there’s a cycling track one and a half miles out from the site, and it leads to Selby in the other direction, a splendid little market town with a medieval abbey and 15th-century gatehouse. Dogs are welcome to join you on your break here and handily, the lake, though not available for fishing, has a path that’s just the thing for the walkies. There’s also Skipwith Common National Nature Reserve for more dog walks 15 minutes' drive away. As for mealtimes, there are dog-friendly pubs in the surrounding villages, all a short drive away. Keep your eyes peeled for the wildlife that uses the site's lake as their habitat. Ducks, oystercatchers and moorhens are some frequent visitors, but indeed, they are not the only animals around this place. Being a working farm, the fields surrounding the park are home to a medium-sized herd of suckler cows and their calves in the summer months. When you’re ready to get out and about, there’s a fair choice of destinations, from two golf courses within around seven miles of the site to the historic York city centre (20 minutes’ drive), with its minster, the Shambles street and homemade fudge shops. To get around, there’s a handy bus service 40 metres from the site entrance.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked This small, adults only, farm site was wonderfully quiet with well spaced, fully serviced hard standing pitches. Our nearest neighbours were the herd of cattle, that provided our daily entertainment, as they moved from one field to the next, depending on their mood or rain showers.

Local attractions

How to commence your holiday in North Yorkshire? Seeing what bargains you can hunt down in the Designer Outlet York (10 minutes’ drive) or a swimming, gym or cycling session in the cool York Sport Village (20 minutes)? Perhaps searching for wildfowl, insects and other animals or birds around the Wheldrake Ings Nature Reserve (15 minutes)? There are a lot of historic things to see around York and Selby, but to see aircraft and control towers from older times, Yorkshire Air Museum & Allied Air Forces Memorial (20 minutes) is also a short drive away. Make a hobby of wildlife spotting if you like – with RSPB Fairburn Ings (25 minutes) and RSPB St Aidan's Nature Park (35 minutes) within reach, there are a variety of landscapes around. If you fancy somewhere you can walk to close by too, you won’t have to take too much time out to visit the family-owned Stillingfleet Lodge Gardens (15 minutes’ walk), where there’s a plant nursery, pond, plenty of pretty plants and visiting wildlife like birds and bees.
