Wold Farm Caravan and Camping Site

It’s a short stroll from Wold Farm to the RSPB reserve at Bempton Cliffs, where there are over 200,000 squawking seabirds (bring earplugs), five clifftop viewing areas, a bird feeding station, a visitor centre and binoculars to hire. The closest viewing area to the visitor centre Grandstand, 200 metres away, is wheelchair and pushchair accessible. Neighbouring Flamborough Head has a bird observatory and one of only two mainland gannetries in the UK. The gannets and the puffins can be spotted by boat on RSPB trips around Bempton Cliffs and Flamborough Head from May to July. Wold Farm is a handy base to get your claws into all the other attractions of East Yorkshire too: the Edwardian seaside town of Filey also has a Bird Garden and Animal Park with five acres of land and a bird garden with exotic specimens you won’t see on the Flamborough cliffs. Scarborough, Whitby and Bridlington should also be seen for their sand, museums, historical attractions and the land train at Bridlington, or stay closer to home for the quieter beaches at Reighton Sands, Thornwick Bay, North and South Landings and Danes Dyke, where you can also unearth spongy fossils under the chalky cliffs. If the thought of bathing in the Yorkshire water is making you shudder, Bridlington also has a large leisure centre and pool with slides and water features. Sewerby Hall, Zoo and Gardens is 10 minutes’ drive from Wold Farm with an eighteenth century house, more animal spotting, another land train, bowling and pitch and putt. The Elizabethan Burton Agnes Hall is 20 minutes’ drive from the farm and there are several other East and North Yorkshire historical highlights close by, including Scarborough Castle, Whitby Abbey and Danby Castle in the North York Moors National Park (speaking of which, head here for a day trip or three to wander the moors and gardens, take a trip on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway and potter around the market town of Pickering).
