Wolds Glamping

Pocklington, welcomer of walkers and cyclists for generations, is within walking distance of Wolds Glamping for shops, pubs, restaurants and the Pocklington Arts Centre with theatre, cinema and exhibition space. Pocklington's Burnby Hall Gardens are about a mile and a quarter away and have a National Collection of over 100 varieties of Hardy Water Lily as well as regular events throughout the year and Bertie, the world's biggest rocking horse. From the town, walk along the Wolds Way for smashing views: on a clear day, both the Pennines and Flamborough Lighthouse are visible. For something a bit more energetic, Pocklington Gliding Club and the Allerthorpe Lakes Activity Centre are close by, as is the KP Golf Club. Wildlife watchers have plenty of picks in the birdwatching and wildlife haven of East Yorkshire: wander along Pocklington Canal to see kingfishers, herons, barn owls and red kites, take a guided tour to see the seabirds of Bempton Cliffs from the scenic beaches of Bridlington, or arrange a tour on arrival at Wolds Glamping of the North Cave Wetlands. Deer, foxes, badgers and otters are often seen in the area too. Also recommended locally are historic houses like Burton Agnes, Sledmere Hall, Burton Constable, Sewerby Hall and Castle Howard. York, about 14 miles away (use the park and ride to avoid city parking), is a good bet too, as is Hull, often overlooked but well worth a visit for The Deep and the city museums.
