  • 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 a beautiful field with a rustic toilet, shower and wash-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: The setting was lovely as first drive up to the site

Disliked: Everything advertised in the pictures was not as close as it was made out In the pictures, the pitch was just a field and everything in walking distance was 45minutes away! We ended up booking another campsite within an hour of our arrival and left beech farm, I’m so glad we did as the other site( we stay at regularly) was so much better

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback and I’m sorry the site was a disappointment to you. Pitchup ask their advertisers to post pictures of lovely things to do nearby, but I’m not sure what made you think they were onsite, pictures of a nearby lake for example don’t have our campsite in the forefront, it’s all in the description. Yes Stamford bridge is about a half an hour walk, but I don’t think we should be marked as a 2/10 for that, rather you should have put our postcode into your map app and calculated the walking distance to Stamford. It’s only a 5 minute drive. We don’t advertise that we are anything more than a field with great views and clean but rustic facilities with Stamford bridge a couple of miles away, so being given a bad review for being exactly as described is quite frustrating

Nice site with clean facilities

Primitive grass tent, travel trailer or trailer tent campsite

Liked: The site was very clean and tidy. Plenty of space for your pitch and could choose where you wanted to be also so if travelling with friends can pitch together. Great site!

Disliked: Not a dislike as such but a park for the kids would be amazing. I know it’s a new site so maybe on their to add on list!

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely feedback. Something for children to do is definitely on the agenda. We are thinking straw bale slide for next summer

Local attractions

Soaking in 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 Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (25 minutes) has a gorgeous set of trails.
