General

Peaceful 35-acre rural site with ten acres of vineyards
In the village of Nun Monkton between Harrogate and York
Dogs welcome

What a lush setting… Yorkshire Heart Vineyard, as you might surmise from the name, is among wine vines in the Yorkshire countryside, in green and pleasant land. Set in the village of Nun Monkton, it spreads over 35 handsome acres, ten of which are made up of rich and leafy vineyards.

The site's location between Harrogate and York means it's remotely placed with many options for countryside walks, but also within easy driving distance of top North Yorkshire attractions including national parks, museums, historic houses and steam railways.

Shops, restaurants and pubs are easily accessed too: the Yorkshire Heart owners recommend the Alice Hawthorn Inn for its cask ales and fresh food, while the Anchor Inn at Whixley is known for its carvery.

Made up of spectacular vineyard and meadow surroundings, the site has loads of space for kids to run around safely and is in a remote location stellar for wildlife and stargazing. Barbecues are allowed: for easily sorted supplies, meander along to the several local farm shops including one at the end of the lane and another in Whixley. The nearest general shop is a mile and a half away at the end of Nun Monkton Lane.

Yorkshire Heart Vineyard is a basic site, with toilets and running water (about 200 metres from the camping field): please note there are no showers.

Dogs are welcome if kept on leads at all times.

Open from 01/04/2017 to 01/10/2018

Liked:	Beautiful surroundings of vineyard and the local pub is a short walk away which is lovely. Lots of space for the children to play.
Disliked:	No one to greet us on arrival meaning we didn't know where to pitch up then the owner was not very welcoming once he arrived but I believe that was due to miscommunication between the office staff and owner.We also had to clear up dog poo on two occasions so that the kids didn't step in it.

Liked:	Proximity to the vineyard and lovely village of Nun Monkton excellent. Ideal place to stay for the night as it allowed us both to participate fully in the tasting sessions at the brewery and vineyard.
Disliked:	Lack of electric hook up for caravan which made it relatively an expensive overnight stay. It electric was available we would use the site in the future to stay longer so we could explore the area to a greater extent.

Liked:	Quiet and friendly. Nice dogs. Owls hooting
Disliked:	Very few facilities. Each pitch is a small patch of grass and there is one toilet with tiny sinks and cold water only, nowhere to hang clothes and some distance away. Fine for us but not worth £17 a night.

Liked:	Area, view, access to York and supermarkets, there dogs were super friendly, owners were very nice and warned us of a party the next day and were accommodating and put them as far away from the rest of the tents as possible to reduse the noise. We are definitely planning to return.

Local attractions

Stick around the countryside for walks and bike rides from here, or get along to market towns like Knaresborough and Harrogate, shopping and heritage cities like York and Leeds or day trips to famed North Yorkshire seaside towns such as Whitby and Scarborough.

Yorkshire Heart Vineyard's local village of Nun Monkton, set where the River Ouse joins the Nidd, is a handy base for miles' worth of gentle countryside walks or easy cycling: look out on the village green for the tallest maypole in England too. The Vale of York, North York Moors National Park and Brontë country around Haworth are all top options for nearby hikes.

Heaps of historical highlights are all around, such as the fab Minster at York, Castle Howard and its vast gardens, Newby Hall and the National Trust's Nunnington and Beningbrough Halls. For museums and history, the Jorvik Viking Centre in York, the World War II sights and smells at Eden Camp in Malden and the National Railway Museum, also in York, are all good options for family days out.

To steam around the Yorkshire countryside (much recommended), take a trip on the award-winning North Yorkshire Moors Railway on its 18-mile puff from Pickering to Whibty, or (and) the Derwent Valley Light Railway, on a gentle three miles around Murton Park.
