Electric optional grass and gravel touring pitches

Well-maintained, adults-only touring park in the Ribble Valley
A 15-minute drive to Clitheroe and 40 minutes to Yorkshire Dales
Easy access from the M6; restaurants a couple of minutes' walk away

A countryside location but with easy motorway access and restaurants a few minutes’ walk away? That’s the fine mix you’ll get at Northwood Caravan and Holiday Park, a family-run park in Lancashire’s lovely Ribble Valley. It’s a peaceful setup indeed here, as it’s an adults-only park with plenty of space to relax on the touring pitches and take in the views over Longridge Fell. The team that run the site take great pride in their place, as you’ll note from the pics of the immaculately maintained and landscaped grounds. Equally well maintained are the facilities, which include water and electric hookups and a smart modern amenities block (opened for the 2021 season) with top-notch showers, a laundry area and accessible bathroom facilities. This is a popular area for walkers so bring your boost along: as well as the Ribble Valley itself there are miles more trails nearby along the coast, in the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Being about 10 minutes’ drive from the M6 also means it’s easy to get to the Lake District with minimal fuss. If you need any advice on where to walk, have a chat with the owners – they’ll happily point you towards their favourite spots. For eats, there are Italian and Indian restaurants a couple of minutes’ walk away, and there are several other pubs and places to eat within five minutes’ drive (plus a Michelin-starred number 10 minutes away). Whalley and Blackburn are both about 10 minutes’ drive away for shops and places to eat.

Debbie C. May 2025

Electric optional gravel motorhome pitch (maximum 7 metres)

Liked: Site was immaculate. Well maintained and spotless. Facilities were excellent and also spotlessly clean. Walter, the owner, made us very welcome and was super helpful.
Lots of information was provided about the local area and beyond.

Disliked: Road noise, the site sits slightly back from the main A road and because of this it can get noisy with traffic.
I think there’s a kennel at the back of the site and the dogs were constantly barking, even during the night.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave a 10 out of 10 review.
We really appreciate your comments and thank you for saying how well maintained and cleaned the park is.
Walter goes beyond beyond to make everybody feel welcome.
We are situated in a fabulous area and will take pride in the amount of places that are customers can visit and we are more than happy To tell a customers about them.
All pitch up customers receive a welcome text with details about the local restaurants and the surrounding area.

Just a little note, we are situated on the A59 which is a busy road at peak times.
But the road gives excellent access to the Ribble Valley and also we are only 10 minutes away from the M6 motorway.
We do our upmost to make everything a special as we can for all of our customers, but anything that happens outside the park is unfortunately beyond our control.

Brilliant

Electric optional grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked: Walter the manager/owner was great extremely helpful, especially when we said it was our first time with a tourer also our motor mover wasn’t working he got a colleague to help push our caravan into its spot.
Has lots of information about the surrounding area and bus timetables with directions to nearest stops and which side for different destinations, he goes the extra mile. Adult only

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
We are only a small independent park and do our very best to be of service to our customers.
Walter is very aware that not everyone is a seasoned caravaner and a little help and advice go a long way.
We are incredibly lucky to be in such a beautiful area and it’s fantastic, especially for customers with motor homes, to have the bus stop next door .
See you again soon ❤️

Electric optional grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked: Friendly site owner Walter who was very knowledgable of the area and where to go. Nice clean site and amenities block.

Disliked: There was too much road noise for us personally which did keep us awake quite a bit. There was also quite a lot of barking from a nearby dog breeder, albeit these two points were obviously beyond the site owners control

Local attractions

Peer into the past… Samlesbury Hall (five minutes' drive) has witch tours, a heritage café and the historic house to look around, while in Whalley village (10 minutes) there’s a Cistercian Abbey, plus a viaduct, river walks and independent shops to choose from afterwards. The foodies and gin connoisseurs among you won’t be left out around here. Clitheroe (15 minutes) is a fantastic foodie town, thanks to its food festival and market (not forgetting the castle for an extra helping of history), and the Brindle Distillery (15 minutes) is a good way to wash it all down with a gin tour. Now for some nature – some good places to find that include the Brockholes nature reserve (10 minutes), Bowland Wild Boar Park (25 minutes) and all the walks around Skipton and the Yorkshire Dales (40 minutes). Those of you who aren’t finished with the action of a town or city might also want to pay a visit to the Haworth Art Gallery (25 minutes) and all of Blackpool’s attractions (half an hour), including the theme park, water park and piers.
