  • Spacious dog-friendly site with spectacular views over the Pennine Way
  • Within easy reach of the Yorkshire Dales and the Forest of Bowland
  • Dog exercise area; two minutes' walk from the local pub
Thinking of visiting the Yorkshire Dales National Park? Or maybe the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty? How about both? Willowbeck Farm, on the edge of the little North Yorkshire village of Wigglesworth, is neatly located between the two, putting guests within easy reach of lots of scenic areas for walks, bike trails and horse riding. (Need tips on the top spots? Try the spectacular surrounds of Malham Cove or the Ingleton Waterfalls Trail, both around half an hour’s drive away). Town attractions and amenities are handily nearby too: you’re five miles from the market town of Settle (where there’s also a supermarket if you don’t happen to be passing by on a market day) and around a half-hour drive from Skipton and Clitheroe for castle visits and plenty of independent shops to poke around in. Back at base, you’ll be staying on a small, quiet and well-maintained adults-only site with smart toilet and shower facilities and a dog exercise area. If you fancy heading out for a meal or a drink, there are a couple of country inns nearby, with the very popular Plough Inn roughly two minutes' walk from site. Please be mindful that this is a rural site and the digital TV signal is very weak. Although there's no wifi here, there's usually great 5G mobile data coverage on site.

What customers say

A dinky, tranquil, adults-only site in gorgeous country, with grand views. Travellers loved the pristine facilities, roomy pitches, and the owner's helpful nature. Being near The Plough Inn, a top pub with cracking grub, is a big plus. Well-kept, with a dog run, it's a handy spot for exploring the Dales. A bit of road noise and tight loos when busy were noted.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Easy access, large pitches and not too close together
There's a pub within easy walking distance although if you want food I'd suggest getting there we'll before food closing times
The chef was gone by the time we arrived

Disliked The road was quite busy and tractors were belting along a narrow road. Wouldn't like to meet one whilst towing the caravan

Very close to the village pub and driving distance to other places.We chose to hike up Ingleborough which was a half an hour journey away,also visited Ribbleshead Viaduct to check out Whernside for our next trip.

Local attractions

There are heaps of options around here if you’d like to stretch your legs – head a few minutes’ drive west for the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty or east to the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Popular spots include Gisburn Forest (15 minutes' drive), Malham Cove and Tarn (25 minutes) and Janet’s Foss waterfall (25 minutes). To delve under the Dales, head to Ingleborough Cave (25 minutes); stick to the surface for trips to Settle Falconry (15 minutes) or the romantic ruins of 12th-century Bolton Abbey, set in a whopping 30,000-acre park (half an hour). Follow up by heading to Harrogate (50 minutes) to refresh at the famed Betty’s tearooms or Pateley Bridge (50 minutes) to peruse the shelves of The Oldest Sweet Shop In The World. If you’ve overdone the exercise a little while roaming, take it easy for a while by heading to Skipton (25 minutes) to cruise along the Leeds and Liverpool Canal or settle down in a seat on the Settle-Carlisle Railway (10 minutes) for a scenic 73-mile ride through the spectacular countryside.
