  • Fully licensed bar, shop and a popular pizza oven
Got a bike? Get on it and pedal over to Dalesbridge, a cycle-friendly site pretty much at the spot where the Yorkshire Dales meets the Forest of Bowland. Spacious and family-run, it is within half an hour's drive of all three Yorkshire Three Peaks for hikes up Whernside, Ingleborough and Pen-y-Ghent. First things first, though, head to the on-site shop to collect some local information and a map of the local area; many walking and cycling routes begin directly from the site. Half an hour’s drive away is the Gisburn Forest, where mountain bikers of all ages, fitness and nerve can pedal a route to suit. The Dales trails and Bowland bike paths aren't the only things to look forward to, as Dalesbridge is a peaceful family site with spectacular scenery in all directions. There’s ample room, a dog-walking area, staff who are happy to help, and most importantly for mountain roamers returning with a thirst, a fully licensed bar (open at certain times). There is also a pizza oven and an on-site shop, where you can stop off for coffee, rolls and pastries at the weekend. Based in Austwick, the site is a 10-minute drive from the historic local market town Settle which has shops and supermarkets. The Settle-Carlisle railway is also a short drive away.

What customers say

Spacious, well-kept site with friendly staff & great views. Clean facilities, underfloor heated showers, and popular bar/pizza oven are highlights. Great for local walks. Minor issues noted: occasional noise, busy periods impacting toilet cleanliness, and pitch allocation clarity.

Liked Level pitches, clean toilets & showers when they were open. Friendly staff, warm and friendly bar. Pizzas a welcome treat. Walking in the area didn't disappoint.

Disliked We arrived on Saturday night and the toilets & showers were open, descided to have a shower the next morning and everything was locked up. Checked all four toilet blocks and all were locked, we left at 10.30 on the Monday morning and all the toilet blocks were still locked, good job we had the van toilet. Rang the mobile number on the reception board, it went to answer phone.

Powered gravel and cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked It was a lovely site, very clean and hospitable, there is a pub on site, and a pizza cafe, these very the opening hours to suit the time of year. The little village of Austwick is in walking distance, which is worth a look at, Settle is also close by with shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants, plenty of walks locally

Local attractions

Starting 10 minutes away, the walk to Ingleton Falls is gentle but rewarding, and even though you’re heading deep down instead of up, the caverns and wild rock formations of Whitescar and Ingleborough caves make for unmissable wanders. For walks with wildlife, make the half-hour trip to Malham Cove, where a pair of nesting peregrine falcons can be spotted in the summer months, alongside resident populations of jackdaws and housemartins. You can climb the massive amphitheatre cliffs of the cove, or follow trails up and around taking in the glacial Malham Tarn and Janet’s Foss waterfall. To see some wildlife at closer quarters, the Settle Falconry Centre (five minutes' drive) has daily displays of flying and feeding and if you feel you’d like to soar through the skies, the Ribble Viaduct section of the Settle-Carlisle Railway makes a fair imitation. If all this outdoor, high altitude stuff has made you peckish, head over to the Wensleydale Creamery (40 minutes) to learn how the famed crumbly cheese is made… and then sample some, but of course.
