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.

Liked Absolutely lovely campsite with stunning views across the sea and cliffs. Liked the simplicity.

Disliked I guess if the campsite was full, may be a little wait for a shower as there was only one.

Lovely site, will return

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Site itself is flat and well maintained basically a flat field. Can see the sea from the site and it’s a nice short walk from Robin Hoods Bay.

Disliked Firstly I had to message regarding allowing three mature men to camp my friend had booked already but the rules looked dubious. When asked, I got an answer it should be ok nothing definite.
Next someone was parked over our designated camp site the owners seemed flustered that she had to ask the person, so we stated we were ok anywhere so moved to accommodate.
At night two of us were talking normally and she came out screaming across the field. I was looking around having no understanding of what or who she was going off at only to realise she was telling us to be quiet as it was just after 10pm but on the longest night of the year and still people out and about.
I’d understand if we were playing music or being raucous but just on camping chairs talking. The owner comes across as arrogant, unorganised in her responses and the amenities are very average for the price and we won’t be going back especially as it is dearer then most places.

A Beautiful peaceful site with amazing views The site owner was friendly…

Non-electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch

Liked The area is beautiful with access to the Bay a long a nice walk across the cliff top.
The owners were friendly and accommodating.

Disliked It’s very expensive for the facilities it provides. One shower, one sink and 2 toilets for a busy campsite is nowhere near enough. It needs to at least be doubled to and provide a separate space for men and women.

Lovely gem of a place basic amenities but what a view

Non-electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch

Liked Couldn't fault where it is Right next to the Cleveland Path literally half a mile to Boggle Hole where they do lovely food and a good pint and beach access and not much further to Robin Hoods Bay in the opposite direction with lovely shops and cafes and beach. Simple amenities that are clean and tidy, spotlessly clean pitches and surrounded by beautiful views

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).
