  • Peaceful dog-friendly site surrounded by the Yorkshire countryside
  • A 20-minute drive to York, the Yorkshire Wolds Way and Castle Howard
  • Walk to the Northwood Trail, a café and restaurant; farm shop nearby
A chilled drink in hand, the Yorkshire Wolds on the horizon and a belly full of fresh farm food grilled on your barbecue… that’s one way to spend an afternoon at Beech Farm. Other ways include hiking out into the Yorkshire Wolds (the site is around 20 minutes’ drive from the Yorkshire Wolds Way for long-distance hikes) or setting about exploring the immediate countryside. A 20-minute drive from York, this is a peaceful escape for any city dwellers… or indeed, a wise spot for those looking to check out its chocolate-making history, historic minster and Shambles shopping street from a base that’s in the countryside. The gorgeous site is half a mile back from a main road and has views across the fields, woods and the distant Yorkshire Wolds. The site is simply an attractive field with a rustic toilet, shower and washing-up block, so it’s just the place for those seeking a back to basics break and lots of peace and quiet. Handily, dogs are very much welcome too. Yorkshire strolls might be next up. If so, the three-mile Northwood Trail is just 15 minutes’ walk from the site too. On the trail, there’s a restaurant, café and a simple playground. If you’re after more tasty things to eat (or to take back for a barbecue), there’s a farm shop and café five minutes’ drive away (or a 45-minute walk away), as well as a cluster of pubs in Stamford Bridge (five minutes’ drive or 45 minutes’ walk).

Primitive cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Lovely site. Really friendly and helpful owners and friendly dog Gilbert !!
Facilities are basic as advertised but very clean with plenty of hot water. Very peaceful with nice views across the fields but also very handy for Stamford Bridge which is a few minutes drive away. My daughter particularly liked the donkeys and the chickens and ducks. Will definitely book again and recommend to friends. Can't rate highly enough.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Our second stay here, liked everything and will be booking to return again over the summer! As expected, it was a busy bank holiday weekend with the weather forecast we knew the site would be busy. Yes there are two toilets and two showers however we never queued for showers, we expected the toilets would be busy so brought a camping toilet for the children. Both facilities as well as kitchen area were perfectly maintained, everything felt clean despite more use than usual. The owner was always about to help out with a smile on his face, time for everyone and handwash, toilet roll etc always stocked up more than enough for everyone. We had the best bank holiday weekend, met some lovely people and look forward to returning with a wider family group. Thanks again

Local attractions

Soaking up some of Yorkshire’s history should be no hard feat around here. Start with the rural side of Yorkshire at Murton Park (10 minutes’ drive), which is a farming museum with 14 acres of playgrounds, animals and historic areas all about Yorkshire farms in the present and past. Castle Howard (20 minutes) is a similar spot with a historic house and estate, playground and walks where the fashionable Howard family have strolled for 300 years or so. Keep up your history-themed tour with a visit to the National Railway Museum York (half an hour) or welcome a bit of wildlife art into your itinerary with a look around the Robert Fuller Gallery Ltd (20 minutes) – and see what inspiration strikes for when you’re relaxing around the green spaces at Beech Farm. Any folk who have come prepared with all their hiking gear and who are itching to get going will get in a good, long hike around the Yorkshire Wolds Way (around 20 minutes), a Wolds trail totalling 79 miles. Failing that, the Howardian Hills National Landscape (25 minutes) has a gorgeous set of trails.
