  • Close to Route 68 and Britain's highest vineyard
  • Spectacular Holme Valley views
  • Farm shop just steps away
Heard of Holmfirth Vineyard? How about Route 68? Listen up, Yorkshire-bound holidaymakers, for these are two Holmfirth places that should feature on your list of Must Visit Forthwith. Holmfirth Vineyard is Britain’s highest and is visited by thousands of wine fans annually, who flow here to take tours and tipples. And Route 68? This is Britain’s longest cycling route, ringing the scenic changes of the land along 355 miles of landscape from Derby, through the Peak District and on to Berwick-upon-Tweed. Both vineyard and cycling could easily be combined on a Yorkshire camping holiday, but doing all the Route 68 miles might lead you to wine about sore muscles afterwards… Say cheers to being close to both with a stay at Whitegate Leisure Caravan and Camp Site, a 10-minute walk from the wines and a prompt pedal from the bike route, which passes along the bottom of the park. The views of the Holme Valley from here are corking (if you’ve seen Last of the Summer Wine you’ll know the lie of the land), all among a peaceful park with toilets and shower block, water point, blue waste disposal and an outdoor washing-up area. The owners have hardcored and turfed over all the pitches here, to keep a countryside feel and prevent tourers and motorhomes getting stuck if it rains. Holmfirth village is about 40 minutes’ walk away and will see you sorted with its pubs, cafés, shops and restaurants; Coddy’s farm shop, steps away from the site, can sort you with bits for a DIY dinner.

What customers say

This is a very clean, tidy and well-maintained campsite with immaculate facilities, including spotless toilet and shower blocks. Visitors frequently praise the friendly and helpful staff and owners, and the site's quiet atmosphere and stunning views. It's highly recommended for its location, which offers excellent opportunities for walking. Some guests noted the potential for wind noise from nearby turbines and accessed via narrow, winding roads.

Liked Cleanliness-absolutely immaculate
Accommodating owner- upon arrival we were informed that they were full even though we had booked through pitch up. The owner found us a space which was so gratefully received.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Very clean and tidy site.
The toilet facilities were spotless.
Very friendly staff.
Nice walks from the campsite.
There is no wifi, and the phone signal is poor!

Disliked There is some noise from the wind turbines, but it didn't cause us a problem.
Make sure you check which route you use to get to the campsite, because some of the nearby roads are very narrow and windy!

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked This is a lovely little site. Toilet shower block very clean. Owners very friendly.

Some beautiful walks in the area with lots of wildlife to see.

Disliked This is not really a dislike but I would suggest that a stall and maybe some shelving be put inside each of the shower cubicles .

Recommend to friends Visit again

Pleasant site, well cared for, owners can be a bit abrupt.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Super clean bathrooms. Well kept site. Plenty to do and see nearby (can recommend the ice cream parlour in Holmfirth!)

Disliked … owners not very diplomatic about how they approached things they were not keen on e.g a dog taking a wee whilst we were actually trying to get them off site to toilet. Similar when being asked if we had scorched the grass with a bbq (we hadn’t). Their manner was quite abrupt.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Highly recommended. Will be back

Liked Small secure, tightly managed site with good support from owners. Immaculate facilities.

Disliked Surrounded by very poor roads. Last year my husband said “I’m never towing on those roads again!” This year he said the same, we will be back next year. Yes, it’s worth it!

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Friendly team, spotless site and facilities. Bit of a drive to Holmfirth if you’ve forgotten anything like milk, bread etc. but overall excellent facilities make this a minor observation.

Disliked Nothing. Site was spot on for my needs.

Local attractions

If you’ve ever seen the BBC programme Last of the Summer Wine, you’ll know the scenery of the Holme Valley and the stone cottages of Holmfirth – for this, goggleboxers, is where it was filmed. Compo, Clegg et al are immortalised in an exhibition up in Compo’s cottage. For a small town, Holmfirth has a fair bit going on all year round, including live music events, a film festival and an arts festival. Miles and miles of walks and bike rides in spectacular scenery are all around too, from pedalling or pottering around the Holme Valley to roaming around the Peak District four miles south from Holmfirth. If pottering, take the short walk around the woods of Digley Reservoir or go birdwatching at Blackmoorfoot Reservoir; if pedalling, tire your legs out on the climb to Holme Moss View Point, or stick to Route 68 and go south from Holmfirth to Dunford Bridge on the route’s Peak District section. Alternatively, travel northeast and northwest for day trips at the Yorkshire Dales and North Yorkshire Moors national parks, or dazzle in the bright lights of Manchester and Leeds, both about 20 miles away by car.
