Sunset over Robin Hood's Bay

  • Dog-friendly farm site one mile from Robin Hood's Bay
  • Walking distance from the beach, village and the Cleveland Way
  • Horses welcome; shops and restaurants nearby
Robin Hood’s Bay was once the stomping ground of smugglers, but you’ll be the new sharks about this place… you see, Farsyde Farm is only one mile from the beach and village, so you’ll be well-based for hunting down rockpools, ancient fossils and cobbled streets chock-full with independent shops, pubs and fish and chip shops. Plus, you’ll get to freestyle right onto the Cinder Track or Cleveland Way, as both trails are 10 minutes' walk away. More on that new den of yours… the peaceful Farsyde Farm is surrounded by the coast and countryside, and the large field spies over the grand Ravenscar cliffs, the countryside and the sea. When you’re not preoccupied with the views and splendid sunrises or sunsets, dark starry nights take over by night – just the thing after a day spent walking, mountain biking or following family trails locally. When it comes to getting your go-to snacks and meals, there’s no need to put the car into action either. The village and its well-stocked shops are 15 minutes’ walk away along the Cleveland Way. Of course, the beach might very well reel you in with its rockpools and fossils (just be sure to take care, especially with the kids). There are good facilities on site, including two flushing toilets, showers, a tap and a washing-up area. Those of you who have horses in your flock will be happy to find they’re welcome too, and guided rides are available. An added bonus is that this site is home to a flock of adorable Valais Blacknose sheep and a small herd of alpacas.

What customers say

Amazing sea views, peaceful vibe, short walk to Robin Hood's Bay. Owners are friendly, farm animals delight. Facilities are clean but basic. Some noted limited hot water for dishes & shower cost, but others found them fine. Quiet and scenic.

Liked Ideal location and quick walk into Robin Hoods bay. Easy access to the coastal walk into Whitby. The staff were lovely and tried their best to position us in the least windy area on arrival. Despite the storm making the trip difficult, the campsite itself I will definitely be returning too!!!

Primitive cement/asphalt and grass RV campsite

Liked I absolutely love Farsyde Farm! It’s in an excellent location with quick access to Robin Hood Bay, Boggle Hole and the local village. The farm campsite has a rustic style bathroom/shower which is very cute and a large outdoor sink for washing up. There’s access to fresh water and the facilities are kept impeccably clean. The owners are very welcoming, friendly and polite. It’s a farm so there’s plenty of animals grazing within their paddocks which further adds to the charm of the place. Bonus, it’s open all year round!! The views from the campsite over Robin Hood Bay are just incredible. There’s some lovely walking trails where dogs can have a good walk/run (but please note that on site and on the trails to the farm/near livestock, dogs are to be kept on a lead at all times). There’s a few local shops that welcome dogs inside. The campsite does not have electric hookup nor chemical disposable point so it’s ideal for tents and campers/motorhomes that are self sufficient. Would definitely recommend the stay!!

Primitive cement/asphalt and grass RV campsite

Liked What’s not to like? It’s a gorgeous location, proximity to robin hoods bay is amazing, the toilets etc are clean. Read some negative comments regarding the facilities. They are genuinely great, you’re on a more “wild camping” site which is also a farm. Every comparable site I’ve stayed at previously had portaloos, they’re a massive step up here.

I visited with my 12yo daughter and she was obsessed with the animals. Friendly owners, always happy to chat. Honestly, such a lovely place.

Disliked The weather? It was a bit windy.

Local attractions

So, where to get walking to? You’ll be going off-road on the 22-mile Cinder Track (10 minutes' walk). Depending on which way you go, Scarborough or Whitby could be your end destination… with the latter, you’ll be on track for the gothic-style Whitby Abbey (15 minutes' drive), and spooky it is, as the 13th-century abbey was the inspiration for the Dracula novel. The Cleveland Way (10 minutes' walk) is another cycling or walking route pretty much on your doorstep. It passes through Scarborough and Whitby too, as well the North York Moors and Saltburn-by-the-Sea – there are 109 miles, so you may want to be choosy about which section you go for. When you’re ready to rest your feet, the North Yorkshire Moors Railway (25 minutes' drive) is right and ready for a steam railway trip, perhaps on one of the historic Pullman carriages. As for those of you who aren’t ready for the action-packed activities to end just yet, there are the zipwires and treetop obstacles at Go Ape Dalby (45 minutes) or wakeboarding, paddleboarding, kayaking and an aqua park at North Yorkshire Water Park (45 minutes).
