  • Spacious dog-friendly site with spectacular views over the Pennine Way
  • Within easy reach of the Yorkshire Dales and the Forest of Bowland
  • Dog exercise area; two minutes' walk from the local pub
Thinking of visiting the Yorkshire Dales National Park? Or maybe the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty? How about both? Willowbeck Farm, on the edge of the little North Yorkshire village of Wigglesworth, is neatly located between the two, putting guests within easy reach of lots of scenic areas for walks, bike trails and horse riding. (Need tips on the top spots? Try the spectacular surrounds of Malham Cove or the Ingleton Waterfalls Trail, both around half an hour’s drive away). Town attractions and amenities are handily nearby too: you’re five miles from the market town of Settle (where there’s also a supermarket if you don’t happen to be passing by on a market day) and around a half-hour drive from Skipton and Clitheroe for castle visits and plenty of independent shops to poke around in. Back at base, you’ll be staying on a small, quiet and well-maintained adults-only site with smart toilet and shower facilities and a dog exercise area. If you fancy heading out for a meal or a drink, there are a couple of country inns nearby, with the very popular Plough Inn roughly two minutes' walk from site. Please be mindful that this is a rural site and the digital TV signal is very weak. Although there's no wifi here, there's usually great 5G mobile data coverage on site.

Liked: Site in a beautiful location with distant views of the Yorkshire hills.
A number of footpaths local to site but some walking on roads to access
Lovely pub next door.
Site was clean and tidy, friendly owner met us on arrival and ahowed us pitch and facilities. All good.
One male shower & wc and one female shower and wc again clean and tidy.
Might be a bit of queue when site fully occupied, we only shared with 3-4 other pitches each day.
Views from site lovely, some road noise but had undisturbed sleep at night.
Solar lights to pathways etc brighten up on sensors at night and are bright so decent blinds in van helpful for when people wandering at night.
Dog exercise area nice, stock fenced off and plenty to explore for dogs with trees and log piles.
Overall lovely quiet site with plenty of different wildlife seen on local walking routes including deer, buzzards and polecats.

Disliked: Rules are clear, keep dogs on lead on site except in exercise field but you always get idiots who ignore the rules, cant blame the site owners though, no accounting for stupid and ignorant people.

Liked: The peaceful location, no screaming kid’s,facilities were great with waste water and toilet disposal, clean toilet and shower, and lovely host. Will definitely be back.

Disliked: The plough inn behind the site let fireworks off Sunday evening without informing any locals, my poor rescue dog nearly had a heart attack, that’s nothing to do with the site though.

Local attractions

There are heaps of options around here if you’d like to stretch your legs – head a few minutes’ drive west for the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty or east to the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Popular spots include Gisburn Forest (15 minutes' drive), Malham Cove and Tarn (25 minutes) and Janet’s Foss waterfall (25 minutes). To delve under the Dales, head to Ingleborough Cave (25 minutes); stick to the surface for trips to Settle Falconry (15 minutes) or the romantic ruins of 12th-century Bolton Abbey, set in a whopping 30,000-acre park (half an hour). Follow up by heading to Harrogate (50 minutes) to refresh at the famed Betty’s tearooms or Pateley Bridge (50 minutes) to peruse the shelves of The Oldest Sweet Shop In The World. If you’ve overdone the exercise a little while roaming, take it easy for a while by heading to Skipton (25 minutes) to cruise along the Leeds and Liverpool Canal or settle down in a seat on the Settle-Carlisle Railway (10 minutes) for a scenic 73-mile ride through the spectacular countryside.
