  • Dog-friendly farm site one mile from Robin Hood's Bay
  • Walking distance from the beach, village and the Cleveland Way
  • Horses welcome; shops and restaurants nearby
Robin Hood’s Bay was once the stomping ground of smugglers, but you’ll be the new sharks about this place… you see, Farsyde Farm is only one mile from the beach and village, so you’ll be well-based for hunting down rockpools, ancient fossils and cobbled streets chock-full with independent shops, pubs and fish and chip shops. Plus, you’ll get to freestyle right onto the Cinder Track or Cleveland Way, as both trails go through the village. More on that new den of yours… the peaceful Farsyde Farm is surrounded by the coast and countryside and the large field spies over the grand Ravenscar cliffs, the countryside and the sea. When you’re not preoccupied with the views and splendid sunrises or sunsets, dark starry nights take over by night – just the thing after a day spent walking, mountain biking or following family trails locally. When it comes to getting your go-to snacks and meals, there’s no need to put the car into action either. The village is 15 minutes’ walk away along the Cleveland Way and the shops are well-stocked. Of course, the beach might very well reel you in with its rockpools and fossils (just be sure to take care, especially with the kids). There are good facilities on site, including two flushing toilets, showers, a tap and a dishwashing area. Those of you who have horses in your flock will be happy to find they’re welcome too, and guided rides are available. An added bonus is that this site is home to a flock of adorable Valais Blacknose sheep.

Liked: Great location. one field back from coastal path, views over the bay, 10 mins walk to Robin Hoods Bay and the great pubs and dining there.

Disliked: Facilities very clean but a little basic . Grass was a bit long and field rough in places but this may be due to the exceptionally wet winter and spring we suffered .

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: A cute site in a great location, a short 20 minute walk down to Robin Hoods Bay. *down lots of steps). the site has some nice views of the sea. its a farm and has a variety of animals from sheep and goats to peacocks and chickens

Disliked: only 2 toilets and one shower, its OK when the site is relatively quiet but when its buys it won't be enough. no noise cerfew, people camping next to us were playing music until the early hours of the morning

From the manager: Thanks for your review. We do.have a curfew of 10pm and if you had alerted me to it I would have been able to make it peaceful. The site was full that weekend - we a small site in a big field! So no need for more toilets etc.

Local attractions

So, where to get walking to? You’ll be going off-road on the 22-mile Cinder Track (under half an hour’s walk). Depending on which way you go, Scarborough or Whitby could be your end destination… with the latter, you’ll be on track for the gothic-style Whitby Abbey (15 minutes' drive), and spooky it is, as the 13th-century abbey was the inspiration for the Dracula novel. The Cleveland Way (under half an hour’s walk) is another cycling or walking route pretty much on your doorstep. It passes through Scarborough and Whitby too, as well the North York Moors and Saltburn-by-the-Sea – there are 109 miles, so you may want to be choosy about which section you go for. When you’re ready to rest your feet, the North Yorkshire Moors Railway (25 minutes) is right and ready for a steam railway trip, perhaps on one of the historic Pullman carriages. As for those of you who aren’t ready for the action-packed activities to end just yet, there are the zipwires and treetop obstacles at Go Ape Dalby (45 minutes) or wakeboarding, paddleboarding, kayaking and an aqua park at North Yorkshire Water Park (45 minutes).
