Camping on The Wolds

Buckets and spades at the ready… Bridlington (25 minutes' drive), and Scarborough (35 minutes) have all the action of a seaside promenade combined with soft surf. For a more secluded spot on the sand, head to the more remote Skipsea beach (25 minutes). Don’t forget to pack your binoculars as you can spot auks, gannets and other seabirds at Flamborough Head (35 minutes) or RSPB Bempton Cliffs Seabird Centre (35 minutes). For another leisurely activity, there’s a golf course (five minutes) with a discount for guests. Forests and dales await at North York Moors National Park (45 minutes). And when you want a break from the outdoors, the historic Burton Agnes Hall (15 minutes) reignites Elizabethan living. It’s a warm companion to the Georgian country house at Sledmere House (15 minutes), where you can let yourself get lost among maze-like landscaped gardens. In need of some shopping or sightseeing therapy? York (50 minutes) and Beverley (20 minutes) both have mighty minsters and markets to mosey around.
