  • Working farm site with spectacular views over the Vale of Pickering
  • Less than 30 minutes' drive to Scarborough seaside town
  • Pitches set on top of the hill, surrounded by flat green space
If you’re after sweeping countryside views, easy access to the coast and miles upon miles of outstanding natural beauty, this might just be the secluded North Yorkshire hideaway you've been hunting for. In the spirit of keeping things simple, peaceful and back to nature, there’s no entertainment on site at Quarry Farm… just loads of wide open space and utterly spectacular views. The huge grassy area surrounding the pitches provides kids with more than ample space for football kicking, kite flying and galloping around with the friendly resident dogs, and the pitches are set on top of a hill for fab views across the Vale of Pickering – south facing too, for extra basking on sunny days. Handily, all the pitches have hardstandings and have been equipped with electric hook-ups, a water tap and drainage; supplies (including gas cylinders) are available from the shop a mile away. When you fancy a break from the toils of the camping stove and decide you're done with driving for the day, Ebberston's local restaurant – also a mile away – is a good spot for an evening meal, and a pub is in the village too.

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Clean facilities with plenty of hot water for showers and washing up! Awesome views from the site. Although it was a busy working farm we weren't disturbed by noise. Plenty of space with large pitches.

Disliked: Kitchen was basic and absolutely fine but just looked like they had run out of enthusiasm to finish it.

Local attractions

Stacks of natural attractions and outdoorsy options surround the farm, the first being the Dalby Forest Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty around five miles away. As well as all the walking and cycling trails that network the forest floor, there's an activity centre with paintballing, airsoft, archery, tree climbing, orienteering and low ropes courses. The farm is close to the Howardian Hills, which is crisscrossed by bridleways and quiet lanes for horse riding and on and off-road cycling. The 14-kilometre mountain bike route beginning at Coneysthorpe has splendid views to the north across the Vale of Pickering and beyond towards the North York Moors, and there are options for shorter rides along this route if you opt to use the bridlepaths around it. Pickering's narrow little shopping streets, ancient castle and access to the famed North York Moors Steam Railway are eight miles from base, and the seaside towns of Scarborough and Filey are both within half an hour's drive.
