Close to Route 68 and Britain's highest vineyard
Spectacular Holme Valley views
Farm shop just steps away

Heard of Holmfirth Vineyard? How about Route 68? Listen up, Yorkshire-bound holidaymakers, for these are two Holmfirth places that should feature on your list of Must Visit Forthwith. Holmfirth Vineyard is Britain’s highest and is visited by thousands of wine fans annually, who flow here to take tours and tipples. And Route 68? This is Britain’s longest cycling route, ringing the scenic changes of the land along 355 miles of landscape from Derby, through the Peak District and on to Berwick-upon-Tweed. Both vineyard and cycling could easily be combined on a Yorkshire camping holiday, but doing all the Route 68 miles might lead you to wine about sore muscles afterwards… Say cheers to being close to both with a stay at Whitegate Leisure Caravan and Camp Site, a ten-minute walk from the wines and a prompt pedal from the bike route, which passes along the bottom of the park. The views of the Holme Valley from here are corking (if you’ve seen Last of the Summer Wine you’ll know the lie of the land), all among a peaceful park with toilets and shower block, water point, blue waste disposal and an outdoor washing-up area. The owners have hardcored and turfed over all the pitches here, to keep a countryside feel and prevent tourers and motorhomes getting stuck if it rains. Holmfirth village is about 40 minutes’ walk away and will see you sorted with its pubs, cafés, shops and restaurants; Coddy’s farm shop, steps away from the site, can sort you with bits for a DIY dinner.

Liked: Nothing!

Disliked: Thieves! They charged us for three nights and kicked us out next morning after arrival because our sausage dogs were barking from stress after long drive while we built our tent. Felt like they're racists because we were the only foreigners at the site. The same time other dogs were running around without a lead, which is against the rules!

From the manager: Thank you for your comments. For all those who read this review - We are not and have never been a racist site and have had many guest stay with us of different nationalities over the years. However as a site we will not accept dogs that owners cannot control. That run at other guests children aggressively on site whilst passing there tent. Continuously bark and yap throughout the day and night. Awake me in my home at 11pm by vicious barking to which I leap out of bed, get dressed and run to my site concerned that a dog fight is taking place. To add to this we had a number of unhappy customers complain due to the constant barking of these dogs. As I approached the owner with her dogs they proceeded to bark aggressively and pull on their chained! Leads. Both owners agreed that they could not stop there dogs from barking and behaving in this manner. As a result of this and my concern for other guests, the customers were given the option to take the dogs away and continue their stay without them or all to leave site, which they chose to do. Anyone regardless of race or nationality who bring dogs that behave in this manner to our site will be given the same option - remove the dogs or leave site. We will not tolerate this behaviour and make no apologies for this.

Liked: Showers, toilets and washing up area very clean and tidy. Water very hot for washing up. Nice spacious pitches.

Disliked: The 90’s rave on at the farm next door in the Saturday night that went on until midnight that we hadn’t been informed about. The extremely windy weather. The WiFi wasn’t working for the duration of our stay

Liked: The site was welcoming, clean and spacious. Friendly welcome by the owner who gave all details we needed. Bathrooms looked very clean and well equipped. The site wasn’t too busy. Great location for exploring the peaks.

Disliked: This is not a negative but just advice. Other reviews mentioned the wind turbine. This did not deter us and neither would it have bothered us. But… we did leave almost immediately because our dog was absolutely petrified by it. So please do visit this site but I wouldn’t advise it for anyone with a dog sensitive to noise. We absolutely couldn’t have stayed there with him - he was shaking and refused to leave the van and it wouldn’t have been fair. So do consider this point if you have a dog! But otherwise please do visit and I’m sure you’ll have a wonderful stay there!

Liked: Toilet and shower facilities very clean. Quiet location. Security gate at entrance.

Disliked: Most of the grass area on a bit of a slope so bear this in mind if you want to perfectly level up your camper van. No price reduction for a vans that don’t need EHU.

Liked: Beautiful surroundings and a very well kept, clean site. There were decent facilities including toilets, showers, washing up stations and a doggy shower. Every pitch has access to electric and has clearly marked bays. The owner of the site is lovely and takes good care of the place.

Disliked: The sound of the wind turbine is quite loud and there are a lot of midges at night (take citronella candles!)

Liked: A lovely secure and clean site, great facilities. Large clean pitches. Walks straight from the site, including safe off road walks for dogs to explore. Lots of places to eat and drink nearby. Lovely views. Another review mentioned the noise from turbine right behind the site, but this sound was minor background noise and didn’t trouble us at all.

Disliked: Not a dislike as such, but a tip for fellow travellers.. the site is high up, which means at night time it can get very very cold and windy so come prepared!

Local attractions

If you’ve ever seen the BBC programme Last of the Summer Wine, you’ll know the scenery of the Holme Valley and the stone cottages of Holmfirth – for this, goggleboxers, is where it was filmed. Compo, Clegg et al are immortalised in an exhibition up in Compo’s cottage. For a small town, Holmfirth has a fair bit going on all year round, including live music events, a film festival and an arts festival. Miles and miles of walks and bike rides in spectacular scenery are all around too, from pedalling or pottering around the Holme Valley to roaming around the Peak District four miles south from Holmfirth. If pottering, take the short walk around the woods of Digley Reservoir or go birdwatching at Blackmoorfoot Reservoir; if pedalling, tire your legs out on the climb to Holme Moss View Point, or stick to Route 68 and go south from Holmfirth to Dunford Bridge on the route’s Peak District section. Alternatively, travel northeast and northwest for day trips at the Yorkshire Dales and North Yorkshire Moors national parks, or dazzle in the bright lights of Manchester and Leeds, both about 20 miles away by car.
