Small site with touring pitches on a working family farm
In the village of Danby in the North York Moors National Park
Within walking distance of pubs, shops, cafés and a bakery

Congrave Farm Holidays is a seriously handy spot for exploring the North York Moors National Park. Its touring pitches are on a working family farm in the village of Danby in North Yorkshire, which is an excellent base for hiking the moors, visiting the coast and getting stuck into all manners of outdoor activities such as trail running, cycling and mountain biking. First of all, the small site is within walking distance of pubs, a bakery, shops, a kids’ playground and cafés. Secondly, it’s just a 15-minute walk from Danby station, which is on the Esk Valley Railway running from Whitby to Middlesbrough and stops at lots of stunning local spots including Grosmont (a 25-minute train) which has access to a steam railway to Pickering and Goathland. If you’re touring as a family, the site is also handily within half an hour’s walk of the Danby Lodge National Park Centre, which has an adventure playground, café and walking trails. This spot is an official Dark Sky Discovery Site; maybe you’ll spot the Milky Way if you get lucky. When you’re ready to be by the sea, check out your options, which include Runswick Bay (15 minutes), Sandsend (20 minutes) and Saltburn-by-the-Sea (25 minutes). You could sit down on a stunning beachfront or pack a picnic to sit on a moortop and take in the views.

Fully-serviced grass and earth touring pitch

Liked: This site's simplicity is its greatest attribute. The site is perfect for the self contained caravan, the site owners are truly lovely welcoming people. The views from this site are spectacular making you feel like you are in the middle of nowhere, but in reality, you are a short walk from village shops and pubs. I honestly cannot wait to go back, now it has potentially become one of my favourite spots.

Fully-serviced grass and earth touring pitch

Liked: Great location. Walking distance to two pubs and train station plus hiking trails.

Site is well spaced, has cracking views and is fully serviced.

All facilities were clean and the picnic bench for each pitch is a great touch.

Hosts were very friendly and welcoming and had some great recommendations.

Disliked: Lack of phone signal was mildly inconvenient when wanting to check train times.

Fully-serviced grass and earth touring pitch

Liked: Beautiful scenery. Peaceful site. Perfect. Really loved it in our campervan. Hope to return.

Grey (waste) water disposal, and recycling facilities. Brand new electric hook up and water standpipe on each of the five pitches. Fox and Hound pub (10min walk) does lovely pub grub.

No WiFi/phone signal which was fab.
