Practical Caravan Great Escapes

Set over six acres of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, Wood Nook is part of a working farm that can be reached via a single-track road. The site is spread over two fields separated by a stone wall, each served by a gravel road: the first is the main touring area, and the second has outfits dotted around its perimeter with a wide open space in the middle. Both fields are gently sloping, but the 28 hardstanding pitches are reasonably level.
Old farm buildings have been converted to provide the park’s facilities, which are centred around a charming courtyard and include coin-operated showers. A small play area provides entertainment for children, and the site has been awarded the David Bellamy Gold Award for its recycling facilities.
The site will also appeal to those seeking a walking or activity holiday. Kilnsey Trekking Centre offers everything from short, scenic rides for children along the River Wharfe to adventurous moorland treks. The nearby trout farm is fascinating, and a little further afield at Skipton, you can hop aboard the famous Settle-to-Carlisle train. Two miles from Wood Nook is Grassington, a popular tourist destination in Upper Wharfedale. Every June, the village hosts a festival that offers
a mixed programme of poetry, comedy and music. There are also numerous agricultural shows in the area throughout the summer.
