Grass pitches with views across wensleydale

A typical yorkshire dales national park dry-stone wall

New

Pop-up Yorkshire Dales site with stunning views across Wensleydale
Middleham Castle, Bolton Castle and Aysgarth Falls 15 minutes’ drive
Pubs about 20 minutes’ walk; shops and restaurants 10 minutes’ drive

Well, that’s quite some setting. Penhill Park is a pop-up, nearly wild site with superb views over the hills and vales of Wensleydale in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. There is an abundance of rural beauty to explore from the neatly mown camping field, and conveniently the shops, supermarkets and restaurants of Leyburn are an accessible 10 minutes’ drive away. Set on the edge of a 100-acre working farm, this family-friendly site is at the foot of Penhill hiking area and also adjacent to Middleham Moor, where you can watch racehorses from the local yards exercise on the gallops every morning. Dogs are welcome to accompany you on your meanders (there are two pubs about 20 minutes’ walk away too), but must be kept on a lead while on site as livestock grazes the surrounding fields. This peaceful spot is equipped with eco-toilets and a shower shack, a washing-up area and recycling amenities. The owners operate a ‘leave nothing behind but footprints’ policy, so be sure to take all your waste home with you. Depending on weather conditions, firepits are generally allowed, but please don’t use disposable barbecues or light campfires on the ground.
