Family-friendly site in village used as location for Emmerdale
Well-stocked bar and function room on site
10 miles from the Yorkshire Dales National Park and 11 from Leeds

Spacious pitches, scenic Yorkshire surroundings, proximity to Leeds, and a pint in the Emmerdale pub of the Woolpack all await at Esholt Sports Club, a family-friendly site set in the village used as the location for the TV soap. It's all in scenic countryside on the edge of the Yorkshire village of Esholt, two miles east of Shipley, five miles north of Bradford and 11 miles west of Leeds. Esholt found fame as the original setting of Emmerdale: fans of the show will probably recognise several other village locations while here. (And whether you're a fan or not, a pint at the Woolpack is probably a top idea…) The pitches and facilities of the site are within the grounds of Esholt Sports & Leisure, which has a well-stocked bar and a function room available for hire. Amenities for guests include toilets, showers, a launderette, a washing-up area and a chemical disposal point. Esholt is well placed for visiting heaps of Yorkshire attractions, such as the museums of Leeds and Bradford, the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Saltaire and the Yorkshire Dales National Park.

Electric optional grass touring pitch

Liked: Absolutely nothing.

Disliked: Disgusting toilet and shower block. 1 toilet. 2 awful showers. 1 sink. Small and pokey. Code too long to remember. Far away from site too. Absolutely nothing on site. Right next to football training ground. Noisy supporters and shouting. Not very private. Don’t bother. £40 for 1 night when you put extras on … Joke. Nothing to do. Field is basically a car park with grass on.

Electric optional grass touring pitch

Liked: Beautiful little village & close to the Woolpack pub. The locals and the owners of the Woolpack are very friendly & welcoming.

Disliked: Dirty & dated shower/toilet blocks. Only two toilets and a couple of showers for the entire site. No soap or hand towels in the ladies toilet. Advertised a club house which wasn’t open for our full stay (Friday- Sunday) An overpriced site for the facilities. Disappointing because it is a beautiful village & would have real potential if the owners invested some money into the site.

Local attractions

As it's Yorkshire, walks among spectacular scenery are all around: make for the Yorkshire Dales National Park 10 miles away to access many miles of trails, as well traditional villages and old market towns. If you're feeling a tad inactive, tour the park by car; if not, other adrenalised activities including mountain biking, horse riding, caving, gorge scrambling or open-water swimming. For towns and shopping, Otley, Ilkley and Skipton are all nearby: Otley (six miles) is a Walkers Are Welcome town and has a number of walking trails that start and end in the town; Ilkley has a toy museum and walks onto Ilkley Moor to see the Cow and Calf rock formation (nine miles), and Skipton (18 miles) is where you'll find the Embsay & Bolton Abbey Steam Railway and barge trips on the Leeds-Liverpool Canal. Four miles away is the famed village of Saltaire, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with several galleries and exhibitions including works by the artist David Hockney, who grew up in Bradford. There's an 11-day festival in the town every September and the Saltaire Arts Trail arts festival runs every May. The nightlife, shopping, restaurants and museums of Bradford and Leeds are five and 11 miles away.
