  • 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.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Great walking trails

Disliked Really bad owners, on arrival we was greeted by site manager who was welcoming and told us to pick where ever as we had the site to ours selfs throughout our stay, we followed all rules ensuring music was off by 10 and we was all in bed by 10.30, on the second day we went into Holmfirth and return around tea time and set up a gamer of rounders for ourselves and children who are from 4-8 yrs old, the site manager decided this would be a good time to cut the grass on his ride on mower, he came right up to my ankles whilst mower and went close up to the children whilst they was running for the ball, I find this to be very dangerous and bang out of order, we was later asked if we would stop our game so he could cut the area we was playing on. The following day again we had been out for most of the day and on returning the children where playing whilst we where sat down sorting tea and the owner sue marched over to us screaming and shouting that we had taken over her site and had bad attitudes, one of the group just turned away from her and she said and don’t you give me that attitude, we attempted to inform her we had followed the rules and that we was told to pitch any where and to line our cars up which we had done and she said if we don’t like it we can leave the site and went on to tell us we would not be welcomed back.
Throughout our stay we was made to feel intimidated and unwelcome, Susan’s attitude and way she speaks to her guests is disgusting, Susan her husband and the manager was continuously staring over at us and pointing making it very obvious they was talking about us.
The site is not safe for children to play in due to the manager cutting grass around you and feeling it is acceptable to come right up to your legs with the ride on lawn mower, never in all my years of camping have I ever known anything like that

Liked Peaceful and quiet, great clean modern facilities and pitches look excellent. Location really handy for walks to Holmfirth

Disliked Minor point would be the cockrell crowing into the very early hours which did wake me up. The noisy wind turbine I got used to.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Possible the most relaxing weekend I have had this year! Despite the rain I was able to get out and about for some hikes in a stunning location and all accessible from the site. The dog had a great time as well. The site itself felt very safe and secure with a coded gate. The toilets and shower blocks were clean as was the washing up area. There is even a boot and dog washing area. To be honest, I was so tired after the walk, I didn’t notice the wind turbine at night. Such a friendly vibe! I will definitely be back.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Nice quiet site, located not far from a small woods which is great for walking the dog etc.
Site isn't too far from Holmfirth/bridge but still a 30+ minute walk but is a lovely walk with nice views!

Disliked We stayed during a storm (winds/rain) and due to its location and weather wasn't the most pleasant stay due to the lack of coverage across the pitches but this can't be helped!

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.
