  • Close to Route 68 and Britain's highest vineyard
  • Spectacular Holme Valley views
  • Farm shop just steps away
Heard of Holmfirth Vineyard? How about Route 68? Listen up, Yorkshire-bound holidaymakers, for these are two Holmfirth places that should feature on your list of Must Visit Forthwith. Holmfirth Vineyard is Britain’s highest and is visited by thousands of wine fans annually, who flow here to take tours and tipples. And Route 68? This is Britain’s longest cycling route, ringing the scenic changes of the land along 355 miles of landscape from Derby, through the Peak District and on to Berwick-upon-Tweed. Both vineyard and cycling could easily be combined on a Yorkshire camping holiday, but doing all the Route 68 miles might lead you to wine about sore muscles afterwards… Say cheers to being close to both with a stay at Whitegate Leisure Caravan and Camp Site, a ten-minute walk from the wines and a prompt pedal from the bike route, which passes along the bottom of the park. The views of the Holme Valley from here are corking (if you’ve seen Last of the Summer Wine you’ll know the lie of the land), all among a peaceful park with toilets and shower block, water point, blue waste disposal and an outdoor washing-up area. The owners have hardcored and turfed over all the pitches here, to keep a countryside feel and prevent tourers and motorhomes getting stuck if it rains. Holmfirth village is about 40 minutes’ walk away and will see you sorted with its pubs, cafés, shops and restaurants; Coddy’s farm shop, steps away from the site, can sort you with bits for a DIY dinner.

What customers say

This highly-rated, clean, and well-kept campsite boasts friendly, helpful owners. Guests rave about the spotless facilities, stunning views, and great location for walks and Holmfirth access. While peaceful, some noted wind turbine noise and windy conditions due to its elevated spot. Navigation can be tricky; follow the site's directions. Some pitches aren't level.

Liked Peaceful and quiet, great clean modern facilities and pitches look excellent. Location really handy for walks to Holmfirth

Disliked Minor point would be the cockrell crowing into the very early hours which did wake me up. The noisy wind turbine I got used to.

Liked Possible the most relaxing weekend I have had this year! Despite the rain I was able to get out and about for some hikes in a stunning location and all accessible from the site. The dog had a great time as well. The site itself felt very safe and secure with a coded gate. The toilets and shower blocks were clean as was the washing up area. There is even a boot and dog washing area. To be honest, I was so tired after the walk, I didn’t notice the wind turbine at night. Such a friendly vibe! I will definitely be back.

Liked Nice quiet site, located not far from a small woods which is great for walking the dog etc.
Site isn't too far from Holmfirth/bridge but still a 30+ minute walk but is a lovely walk with nice views!

Disliked We stayed during a storm (winds/rain) and due to its location and weather wasn't the most pleasant stay due to the lack of coverage across the pitches but this can't be helped!

Liked Location was perfect having family living in Holmfirth. Beautifully clean and site area well maintained. Lovely host.

Disliked Our sat nav took us though Holmfirth which took us on hilly lanes unsuitable for caravans and very stressful. Luckily we came to no harm but information on the best route to the site is imperative. The host said it was in the site information but it’s not on pitch up! This needs sorting.0

Liked This is a super quiet and peaceful spot to pitch your motorhome or caravan or tent. The scenery is absolutely lovely, and you’ll find friendly cows chilling in the field nearby.

The washing and toilet facilities are spotless and well-kept. Plus, it’s super secure with a coded gate. It’s an excellent site! The owner is incredibly helpful and knows everything about the area.

Disliked Nothing.

Liked Been to Whitegate now 3 times, all in the space of 3 months! Absolutely stunning site, owners are such lovely people who will go above and beyond for you. Great area for people who love walks, Holmfirth is only a 40 min walk away or a 10 minute drive, facilities are immaculate, clean toilets and showers. We’re so sad to leave every time we come! Couldn’t recommend enough to people, thank you again and we’ll be back soon! :)

Disliked nothing!!!

Local attractions

If you’ve ever seen the BBC programme Last of the Summer Wine, you’ll know the scenery of the Holme Valley and the stone cottages of Holmfirth – for this, goggleboxers, is where it was filmed. Compo, Clegg et al are immortalised in an exhibition up in Compo’s cottage. For a small town, Holmfirth has a fair bit going on all year round, including live music events, a film festival and an arts festival. Miles and miles of walks and bike rides in spectacular scenery are all around too, from pedalling or pottering around the Holme Valley to roaming around the Peak District four miles south from Holmfirth. If pottering, take the short walk around the woods of Digley Reservoir or go birdwatching at Blackmoorfoot Reservoir; if pedalling, tire your legs out on the climb to Holme Moss View Point, or stick to Route 68 and go south from Holmfirth to Dunford Bridge on the route’s Peak District section. Alternatively, travel northeast and northwest for day trips at the Yorkshire Dales and North Yorkshire Moors national parks, or dazzle in the bright lights of Manchester and Leeds, both about 20 miles away by car.
