  • Small North Yorkshire site with views of the White Horse of Kilburn
  • In the North York Moors National Park, 10 minutes' drive to Thirsk
  • Two pubs within walking distance of the site; Cleveland Way close by
Whether you’re off to the North York Moors National Park to walk the Cleveland Way, mountain bike around Sutton Bank or tread carefully around abbeys and museums, Butter Hill Caravan Park is well situated to get going, as it's on the edge of the national park – with the 109-mile Cleveland Way trail around 10 minutes’ drive away (and it has quite the reputation for sublime scenery around the fringes of the moors). Look up and you’ll see a well-known North Yorkshire landscape… this small site is just below the White Horse of Kilburn, a chalk figure cut into the side of the hill. It’s 25 minutes’ walk away from the site for a look up close, and there are also other interesting nooks a short walk away, including the Mouseman Museum, Café and Visitors Centre (home to a collection of Mouseman furniture) two minutes’ walk away. On site, there are water points, but for some fancier potions to wet your tastebuds, there are all types of refreshments in the surrounding pubs. The site is on the edge of the village of Kilburn, so the local pub/restaurant is two minutes’ walk away. There’s another good pub in Coxwold, 30 minutes’ walk away or five minutes’ drive. As for shops, Thirsk, 10 minutes’ drive away, is your go-to.

Liked: Location, peace and quiet, and simplicity of the set up. Must have enjoyed it last time, as it was our second visit in quick succession. Spacious pitch. Super easy walk to the village. Our mobile WiFi router worked pretty well most of the time. Able to stream live sport fine.

Disliked: Nothing

Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: Great little site. Excellent pitches . Well laid out access roads. Lovely location. Nice pub in walking distance. Walk from the ‘doorstep’. The White Horse is walkable but steep at the end. Worth the view on a clear day, which we were lucky to have. We have our own portable WiFi router and it worked fine with just a couple using it. TV reception was fine. Very peaceful. Nice place to recharge your batteries.

Disliked: Nothing - genuinely.

Local attractions

Flick back through the pages of history a little… this area’s a fitting place to take a look at times past, whether it’s roaming around the Tudor Newburgh Priory Estate (five minutes’ drive) or stopping by Byland Abbey (10 minutes) while on your cycles through the countryside for a look at the ruined gothic architecture. To continue your historic tour, you might want to plot out your route to The World Of James Herriot (15 minutes) for a museum all about the famous 20th-century vet… onto Thirsk (10 minutes) for a market town packed with museums of all sorts… or Ampleforth Abbey (20 minutes) to see how Benedictine monks once lived inside the monastery. Helmsley (25 minutes) is another market town where the past runs strong, as it has a castle, walled garden and abbey. But how about hiking and biking too? Sutton Bank (10 minutes) is a Dark Sky Discovery Site by night, but by day, the spotlight is on its walking, cycling and mountain biking trails. Handily, for those of you without your own wheels, there’s bike hire available. Monk Park Farm Visitor Attraction (five minutes) has a smaller one-mile walk for those of you who have little legs in your group, as well as interactive animal activities.
