Kiddal Quarry Farm

Rural Yorkshire camping by a stream in a scenic location near Leeds
On the Leeds Country Way; city centre 20 minutes' drive
Set on a working livestock farm with sheep, cows, chickens and ducks

Kiddal Quarry Farm is a small family-run business conveniently located between Leeds and York, just off the A64 and 10 minutes' drive from the A1. Set in the green belt between the two cities, the site has views over peaceful farmland, woodlands and hedgerows. The camping area is set back from the road and is shielded by trees, so the place feels very rural and relaxed. The farm has livestock, including sheep, cows, chickens, ducks and guinea fowl, so there are always fresh eggs for sale. It also grows its own fruit, veg and flowers, with produce sold in season (usually during the summer). Campfires are allowed, but please keep them in the designated and follow any instructions from the site (they may not be allowed in dry, windy or hot weather). Kiddal Quarry Farm is close to multiple public footpaths, including the Leeds Country Way, and is a short walk to the nearest villages of Barwick in Elmet and Thorner (20 minutes and 30 minutes respectively), as well as a selection of pubs. The facilities here are very basic, with a compost toilet and makeshift washing up station. Please only bring non-toxic and biodegradable cleaning products for you and your dishes and take your rubbish home with you. Please note that there is a 200-metre walk from the parking area to the camping area across a sloped field. Wheelbarrows are provided, and there's a quad bike and trailer too if you need a little extra help getting around because of mobility issues (please let the site team know about this in advance).
