Can’t decide between town and country? The location of Tin and Canvas Glamping means you don’t need to make a decision – this rural site is set in a two-acre meadow but it's still only a few minutes' walk from Pickering High Street. Located down an old carriage track, it’s a peaceful spot that's not on any roads; it's likely you won’t find another site so central to Pickering with resident owls and such a countryside vibe. This is a rustic glamping experience for those who want to get away and connect with others and mother nature. The site tries to be eco-friendly, so there are composting toilets in each unit and the use of two LPG showers made from vintage, salvaged and characterful materials. There are no brick/modern toilet or shower blocks and no wifi, but there's good mobile phone signal. Stays here have access to lots of places to eat out – and you can forget about the car as there are no long walks back to base. It also offers a lot to railway buffs… surrounded by mature trees, the meadow is right next door to a station on the heritage North Yorkshire Moors Railway. Only the meandering Pickering Beck sits between you and the track – so you can bag a train ride across the moors or just appreciate the hiss of steam as a train puffs out of the station. Pickering also makes a smashing base for exploring the North Yorkshire Moors as well as lovely Roman-and-medieval York (45 minutes). Just one word of warning though: the camping meadow runs alongside Pickering Beck and in the (very) rare event of a flood, guests will be reimbursed for any lost nights or alternative dates offered – the site owners are signed up to the Environment Agency’s flood-alert system. Guests will need to bring their own bedding and towels. Top sheets, throws and everything else you need to eat, cook and drink are provided.

Local attractions

Pickering is home of the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, so how about a scenic ride on a steam locomotive through gorgeous North York Moors landscapes? You can hop off at Goathland (20 minutes’ drive) to tread in Harry Potter’s footsteps, or stay on the train until it hits Whitby (approximately an hour and 50 minutes, or 30 minutes by car) and explore its abbey, fishing harbour and seafood restaurants. Of course, you may prefer to discover the moors by car – pretty villages include Thornton-le-Dale (10 minutes) and Ampleforth (half an hour) with its gorgeous abbey, while Malton (15 minutes) is a good stop off for foodies, with microbreweries, delis and plenty of dining options. If you’re holidaying with kids, the Yorkshire coast is famous for its resorts; pick one that suits you best of Scarborough (35 minutes, sandy beaches) or Bridlington (50 minutes, speedboat rides and amusement arcades). Robin Hood’s Bay (40 minutes) is fab for finding fossils, while Runswick Bay (45 minutes) is a hotspot for rockpooling and blowy coastal walks. Kids not tired yet? There are animal encounters and thrill rides aplenty at Flamingo Land Resort (10 minutes) to keep them happy all day long.
