  • Peaceful camping location on an estate in North Yorkshire countryside
  • A 30-minute drive to the Yorkshire Dales; North York Moors 50 minutes
  • In the grounds of Grade 1-listed Forcett Hall, close to pubs and shops
Forcett Hall offers wild camping on a peaceful and scenic grassy site with a wonderful setting in the grounds of a Grade 1-listed mansion in North Yorkshire countryside. Its location is key here – Forcett Hall sits close to the North York Moors and Yorkshire Dales national parks, as well as the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and it's in an area that's packed with all sorts of leisure and cultural attractions. You’ll need a car to explore, but in under an hour you can access dramatic North Yorkshire landscapes, and if the kids are really keen to head to the coast, you can be tucking into fish and chips on the prom at Saltburn-by-the-Sea in 50 minutes' drive. Back at your rather glamorous base, the camping field has plenty of space for families and their pooch pals to potter around and take in the landscaped gardens. There’s no electricity (bring a torch), but simple portable toilets are provided, and you can barbecue by your pitch. Keep supplies topped up at the convenience stores in Eppleby (a mile away) or (Richmond (15 minutes), where you’ll also find a staggering choice of tea shops and restaurants. Cute local villages like Hutton Magna and Ravensworth (both 10 minutes) are good hunting grounds shops stocking regional produce, while your hosts recommend stopping for a pint or sit-down meal at the traditional pub in Caldwell (five minutes).
