Oakwood Luxury Glamping

Spend a day in Beverley (20 minutes’ drive) to do justice to the spectacular Early English and Gothic architecture of the minister and the intricately painted Ceiling of Stars and Constellations in 16th-century St Mary’s Church. If you’re there on a warm day, take a walk on Westwood Common or follow the Hudson Way Rail Trail along a former railway line towards York. As well as its acclaimed National Railway Museum – star exhibits include the famed Flying Scotsman and bright-blue Mallard trains – York (40 minutes) has ninth-century dioramas in Jorvik Viking Centre and recreated Victorian streets at the Castle Museum. Step back further in time with strolls around the (partly) Roman walls, and be sure to take the free guided tour of York Minster before visiting the interactive Undercroft Museum to learn more about its backstory. If you’d like to venture further afield, the Royal Armouries Museum and upscale shopping in Leeds, lively beaches at Scarborough or Bridlington, and scenic hikes in the Howardian Hills National Landscape are all around an hour’s drive away from the glampsite.
