Hillside Caravan Park

As is always the case in Yorkshire, piles of attractions and activities are all around for all ages and tastes. Hillside Caravan Park is in the land made famous by country vet James Herriot, and the World of James Herriot is in his former home and surgery in the nearby town of Thirsk. Also in Thirsk, you could canter towards Thirsk Racecourse, along the Thirsk Furniture Trail or around the Thirsk and Northallerton Golf Club. More golf is at Romanby Golf and Country Club a short distance away. Historyheads have Fountains Abbey, Mount Grace Priory, Newby Hall, the buildings of York and piles of other North Yorkshire piles to investigate, along with the county's many museums such as the National Rail Museum in York. For the kids, Monk Park Farm, Flamingo Land and the amusement park Lightwater Valley should amuse them no end and they'll probably also like a day at Thirsk's Boltby Pony Trekking. Older kids and teens might also go for aiming at some clay target shooting at Thimble Shooting Ground.
