Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: Great facilities. We loved the service pitch. Sarah was welcoming and knowledgeable about caravans and went out of her way to help us with a problem with our caravan. Clean facilities, great location, peaceful and pleasant. Great to recharge your batteries.

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: We booked a fully serviced hardstanding grass pitch which was huge. A drainpipe was in situ to connect our caravan directly into the drain. A hose pipe is also included on all pitches. The toilet/shower facilities are spotlessly clean and the whole site is well maintained. Sarah is very welcoming and helpful. Venus is a very nice and peaceful site and highly recommended.We will definitely be returning.

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: This is a lovely site and I have no idea why it was not full. The fully serviced pitch was a good size and well maintained. A hose and waste pipe were also supplied. The toilets were clean and tide. The site is a good location with good access to the whole area. We really liked this site and definitely will be back. Ignore the comments about road noise from the A1 as it was hardly noticeable.

Disliked: Not really a dislike but the odd aircraft did make up jump a bit.

Local attractions

History buffs will be well looked after hereabouts, with plenty to entertain, starting 25 minutes’ drive away at Mother Shipton’s Cave, England’s oldest tourist attraction. Plenty of stately manors are nearby too, with Newby Hall and Ripley Castle within 25 minutes, Beningbrough Hall and Garden 35 minutes from base, and the spectacular (and famed) Castle Howard within 50 minutes. If history is preferred with an urban slant, head first to Thirsk (15 minutes) to explore the James Herriot museum, then travel on to Ripon’s cathedral and museums (10 minutes), Knaresborough’s castle and scenic viaduct (20 minutes), York’s minster, Jorvik Viking Centre and Shambles (40 minutes), and Durham’s castle, cathedral and museums (55 minutes). Open-air time is highly recommended nearby too. Explores around the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors national parks are, of course, a must, but not at the expense of visiting the Howardian Hills (25 minutes), the balancing Brimham Rocks (30 minutes), or the stunning gardens at Studley Royal (20 minutes) and Harlow Carr (35 minutes). Adrenaline seekers, meanwhile, should make immediate tracks to Lightwater Valley, 20 minutes away, where in addition to pedaloes, toboggans and traditional fairground rides, Europe’s longest rollercoaster – the Ultimate – awaits. If that’s got juices pumping for more, it takes an hour to get to Flamingo Land to zip along rides in the theme park or meet animals at the zoo.
