A note from the site themselves...

We are situated in a very small village, with only 329 residents in 2001. Up until 1766, we would often have famous visitors stopping off along the way including important figures Queen Elizabeth I and Cardinal Wolsey on their journeys due to our location along the Great North Road. The Cardinal even stayed at the Manor House briefly, after his fall from favour.

The house actually was owned by the Archbishops of York and so was sometimes referred to as a palace. Locals will often be happy to tell you their local tales and show you our points of interest. We hope to welcome you to our little haven soon and share our unique history, Shane

Single Axle Caravan - Optional Electric Grass PitchesSep 2023

The lane down from the pub to the site is full of very deep pot holes. Therefore, you must drive at less than a walking pace. The light in the gents shower does not work. They do not practice a re-cycling scheme. The pitches on touring side are grassed and reasonably flat, opposite are quite a few vans that look like long term campers, which are quite close together. Overall, not a bad site, but the lane does need sorting out, quite a worry that you could damage your caravan.

Motorhome - Optional Electric Grass PitchesSep 2023

This is an okay site. Very safe and secure. The 200 yds drive to the entrance was horrendous, due to the depth and number of potholes.
