  • Close to walking trails and railway station; bus stop just outside
Can’t quite decide between the coast and the countryside? Why not have both, at the East Yorkshire site Camping on The Wolds. Handily placed on the outskirts of Driffield in the low-lying valleys and chalk hills of the Yorkshire Wolds, this dog-friendly site is also 25 minutes’ drive from the coast, with the sandy shores of Skipsea, Hornsea and Bridlington all within 30 minutes’ drive. From spacious grassy pitches, you can take in the views that inspired arty types like David Hockney, head out onto Yorkshire Wolds Way or the Minster Way or go for a townie wander in Beverley and York and gaze at their massive minsters. Leave the car behind if you wish, as there’s a bus stop just outside the site and a train station 10 minutes’ walk away in town. Tuck into a meal here or consider checking out other nearby country pubs. Maybe make off for a Michelin-starred meal at the Pipe and Glass in Beverley, if you want something a little fancier. If you’d rather stay put on your pitch, that’s fine too. Grab supplies from one of the independent shops or supermarkets in town and get the barbecue going for alfresco dinners. Either way, the site has your basics covered: there are purpose-built toilet and shower blocks along with a washing-up area behind the main shower block.

Local attractions

Buckets and spades at the ready… Bridlington (25 minutes' drive), and Scarborough (35 minutes) have all the action of a seaside promenade combined with soft surf. For a more secluded spot on the sand, head to the more remote Skipsea beach (25 minutes). Don’t forget to pack your binoculars as you can spot auks, gannets and other seabirds at Flamborough Head (35 minutes) or RSPB Bempton Cliffs Seabird Centre (35 minutes). For another leisurely activity, there’s a golf course (five minutes) with a discount for guests. Forests and dales await at North York Moors National Park (45 minutes). And when you want a break from the outdoors, the historic Burton Agnes Hall (15 minutes) reignites Elizabethan living. It’s a warm companion to the Georgian country house at Sledmere House (15 minutes), where you can let yourself get lost among maze-like landscaped gardens. In need of some shopping or sightseeing therapy? York (50 minutes) and Beverley (20 minutes) both have mighty minsters and markets to mosey around.
