About Westerly Lake Fishing and Caravan Park
The lake is a haven for wildlife and many visitors choose the caravan park to be close to the large variety of birds, many of which are very tame. Fishing here is regularly described as 'the best roach and bream fishing in Yorkshire', and there are also plenty of carp for those who want to target the larger species, but please note that braid is not allowed. The caravan park has spacious hardstanding pitches and electric hook-ups, good facilities, plus the most precious quality - peace and quiet!
Open from 1 March to 30 November
Site facilities include free hot showers and toilet facilities. Internet access is provided via Caravan Connect and there is a coarse fishing lake on site.
Wheldrake village is just a short walk away and the Whenlock Arms is a quiet country pub serving delicious food - you can reach all this without a car. Frequent buses run from the village into the city of York and the stop is a short walk from the caravan park gate.
