  • Small quiet family-run site on a hill farm in the Yorkshire Dales
  • Top spot for the Yorkshire Three Peaks with direct access to trails
  • Cooked breakfasts, packed lunches and homemade cake sold on site
Three peaks before breakfast? That might not be possible (let alone pleasant) but the paths to two of the famed Yorkshire Three Peaks start less than five minutes' drive away from this quiet site on a family-run hill farm in the Yorkshire Dales. Philpin Farm is a 10-minute drive from Ingleton and the Ribblehead Viaduct, on the route of the Settle-Carlisle Railway. The site is small and two-tiered, with accommodation areas at the bottom and top of a small hill (the car park is near the top area as no cars are allowed on the field). The farm's barn is available for eating and mingling in, and it's home to a snack bar on weekends; you can also order cooked breakfasts and packed lunches, buy homemade cakes, even socks, gloves, hats and rain ponchos if you've come under-prepared. The barn also has vending machines that are open 24 hours per day, so that's your midnight snack sorted. Barbecues are allowed on site if raised off the ground (strictly no fires). The only other strict rule is the farm's no-noise policy at night: please let everyone savour the peace of this very special place. There's a welcoming 17th-century inn five minutes' walk away, more of the same, plus shops and a chip shop in Ingleton.

What customers say

Grand spot for the Yorkshire Three Peaks, lovely owners, and spotless facilities with hot showers. Barn has WiFi and snacks. Bit hilly and phone signal's patchy outside the barn, but grand overall.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Good facilities, good views and lots of opportunities to buy products that you have forgotten.

Disliked Didn’t mention that didn’t really “accept”tentboxes, even though it was written in the special requirements, had to park in the gravel car park amongst all of the cars.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Well tended site with short grass. Plenty of signage and instructions by gate and in barn for arrivals. Local walk info. Clean, modern showers and toilets. Vending machines and indoor seating area with wifi and handy charging lockers for phones or valuables, one pound coin to lock door. Owners very friendly and often around. Great views.

Disliked Arriving on foot there is a path from the viaduct otherwise coming along the main road is not recommended as there is very little verge next to the stone walls and traffic can be fast

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked What a fantastic little place you have there. We loved it here. Great wee coffee shop. Can get breakfast and lunches.Free WiFi. Shower block. Very clean and friendly place. Not to me mention your essentials for sale after we bought the wrong air bed with us thankfully they sold them on site

Disliked Not having a phone signal at all.
Was a bit of a pain not having the car beside us on the site but we managed.

Local attractions

For committed peak baggers, trails up to Ingleborough and Whernside run just by the farm, and the starting point for third peak, Pen-y-ghent, is 15 minutes' drive away. While some mark off their scorecards and leave, others stay and explore this area stuffed with wonders both natural and man-made. The Settle-Carlisle Railway, and its transit over the mighty Ribblehead Viaduct, marks a meeting of human endeavour and landscape: don't miss a chance to take one of the world's great rides: 73 miles through remote and sometimes jaw-dropping scenery from Ribblehead, five minutes' drive away, or Settle (half an hour). If you're up for something more active, it's 10 minutes into Ingleton for tours of the White Scar Caves and the trail to the waterfalls. Heading further westwards towards the Forest of Bowland, it's a 45-minute drive to paths up Bowland's highest point, White Hill for views of Dales, Lakes and even sometimes, the sea. The area is popular with cyclists, too, with numerous bike routes through Gisburn Forest starting from the Forest Hub café, also 45 minutes away. If water's more your element, it's half an hour to Semer Water for coarse and brown trout fishing, canoeing and windsurfing and if you're a tad peckish after all that outdoor stuff you could head up to Hawes (20 minutes) and sample the cheesy delights of the Wensleydale Creamery.
