  • Small family-run caravan site at a North Yorkshire golf course
  • York city centre 15 minutes' drive; designer shopping outlet 10 mins
  • Woodland walks and several golf activity options on site
Woodland walks on one side and a golf course on the other – now doesn’t that sound like a little bit of a fabulous location? This is the setup on offer at Swallow Hall, a small family-run caravan site in the North Yorkshire countryside a couple of miles from the village of Wheldrake and six miles from the centre of York. This place is something of a dream for golfing types – in fact the caravan site is inside the grounds of Swallow Hall Golf Course, which has a pay-and-play 18-hole facility that doesn’t require any tee time booking. Guests also have the option of playing on the 9-hole Academy course (par 28), honing their skills at the short game area or extending the day with some time on the floodlit driving range. Meanwhile, non-golfers have direct access to Forestry Commission woodland walks, or may prefer to get out for a day of retail therapy at the Designer Outlet York, 10 minutes’ drive away. Pitches have access to an eco-friendly modern toilet and shower block; please note that only eco-friendly biodegradable toilet fluid can be used on site.

What customers say

Peaceful, well-kept grounds with spacious, private sites and modern restrooms. Praised for cleanliness, quiet atmosphere, and woodland walks. Ideal for relaxing and dog owners. Convenient for York. Minor notes: occasional airfield noise, spotty phone/Wi-Fi. Clubhouse reviews vary.

Liked Quiet, peaceful, and large private spots with clean modern facilities - one of our favourite sites we've been to, and will definitely be back.

We're not golfers, but the forest walk was a great bonus

Disliked We booked a taxi which was between £8-15 as the bus stop to York was 1.5 miles away on a road with no footpath.

Local attractions

When you’re not playing golf on site (or perhaps while your other half is on the course), there are plenty of outings to be had in the surrounding area. If you’d like to soak up some more of the local scenery, you could settle in for some coarse fishing at Raker Lakes (five minutes’ drive), stroll around the various themed areas of Stillingfleet Lodge Gardens (15 minutes) or stretch your legs on a walk at Skipwith Common National Nature Reserve (20 minutes). City time is right on hand too, and in the wonderful place that is York (15 minutes), where you could easily spend several days exploring the minster, the Shambles, the National Railways Museum and the city walls, or taking boat trips and riverside walks. And that’s before you’ve splashed the cash at Designer Outlet York (10 minutes). For different days out, plan trips to the Yorkshire Air Museum and Allied Air Forces Memorial (15 minutes), Selby Abbey (20 minutes) or York Bird of Prey Centre (half an hour).
