Our site with views towards whitby

  • Peaceful, dog-friendly site within the North York Moors National Park
  • Five minutes’ drive from Whitby's seaside, abbey and museums
  • Barbecues permitted on site and cycle hire nearby
Pitch up in the North York Moors National Park at Long Meadow Farm and the pretty views will have you itching to get out for explores of both coast and countryside. There are plenty of walks in the surrounds for all abilities at this family- and dog-friendly site, five minutes’ drive from the sea at Whitby, with wildlife to keep an eye out for as you amble. If you prefer to trundle on wheels, cycle hire is available over the road from Long Meadow. After a day well spent navigating the local area, head back to the park for some refuelling – there’s a supermarket in Whitby for supplies and barbecues are permitted on site, so grab anything that can be grilled and get ready to tuck in. If your roams have you tired out and you’re not up to cooking, a couple of pubs serving meals are within walking distance, so you can stop in for a quick refreshment before hitting the hay. Please note that this site does not have toilet or shower facilities.

Non-electric gravel touring pitch

Liked: Site is well maintained and spotless, all amenities quite close by, checking in system well organised and a telephone number is available if you have any issues. Walking distance into Whitby and Robin Hoods Bay but if you can't walk there's a bus stop at the end of the road. This is the second time we've stayed here.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Simple booking and check-in procedure. Good location, but quite remote, lack of facilities on site, although perfect for a one night stop off with adequate level pitch and electric hook-up. Couple of nearby pubs with good reputation for food ‘The Hare & Hounds’ and ‘The Windmill Inn’ less than a mile, 10-15min walk in either direction. About a 45 minute walk along a quiet country road to The Abbey and ‘Whitby Brewery’, a nice independent place serving a great range of local ales and pilsner with a good outdoor space, great backdrop of the Abbey on the skyline. Another 5 minute walk takes you down to the heart of Whitby, with breathtaking views of the bay as you make your way down the famous 199 steps. If you decide to have an evening drink in Whitby, as we did and don’t fancy the walk back, it will cost about £10 in a taxi from near the station. Overall, would recommend for a night or possibly two, but not the sort of pitch you would stay for a longer period owing to facilities.

Disliked: It was fine for us as a fairly young fit couple, but if you don’t like walking it’s probably a little too far from local amenities. Would definitely recommend planning ahead as no shop nearby, so make sure you have everything you need before arrival. Lack of atmosphere and community feel, which may be great for some people, but we didn’t see anyone else on-site to even say hello to.

Non-electric gravel touring pitch

Liked: Simple site with easy access to water & waste disposal. Beautiful views. Road busy during day but not a problem & quiet at night.
Easy to communicate with the owner by text. I asked about the bus stop & also requested a further night.
Easy cycle into Whitby either past the Abbey or along the cinder track which also goes to Robin Hood’s Bay.

Disliked: Pitches not level, need chocks.

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked: Location and views are great,a lovely little site even though no facilities but that isn't a problem if you have shower/toilet in your caravan/motorhome. About 3.5 miles into Whitby and a bus stop just down the road.

Disliked: Nothing.

Local attractions

If you don’t spot any animals scampering about the North York Moors while staying at this site, set off to the SEA LIFE Scarborough aquarium and eye up some underwater creatures instead. The town also has a castle to check out, along with a sandy beach (half an hour's drive). Stretches of coast closer by include Robin Hood's Bay (five minutes), which is also home to a fab old fishing village, and strolls along the seaside at Whitby’s harbour are also a satisfying way to while away your time. Head to this town – said to be the inspiration for Bram Stoker’s spooky novel Dracula – to have a gander at the atmospheric abbey as well. If you’re keen on seeing the scenery of the nearby national park but not on two feet, make tracks to the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, which leaves from Whitby and chugs along for 18 miles with views of Newtondale’s geological formations and Fen Bog’s nature reserve. Kids can’t keep still? Tire them out at Go Ape Dalby (35 minutes), a treetop adventure park with all sorts of activities available, or take them to Alpamare waterpark (25 minutes) to whoosh down the slides and float in the pools.
