  • Family-friendly, peaceful site near Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire
  • Half an hour’s drive from Gibson Mill and Haworth
  • Adjacent to the Pack Horse Inn with direct access to the Pennine Way
Fancy a spot of almost-wild camping on a working family farm in the South Pennines? You’re looking at the right place then, as Ridge Fold Camping is a pop-up campsite surrounded by farm animals and with wonderful scenery on the edge of the Brontë moors. If you fancy getting stuck into rural life even more, farming activity days (seasonal lambing, calving and shearing) can be booked when you arrive on site for an additional cost. The area is well known for its birds, wildlife and spectacular scenery, with miles of footpaths – including the Pennine Way – to explore, making it the perfect location for walking or mountain biking. Or you can simply kick back amid the wonderful views and enjoy a leisurely break surrounded by nature. Time for a well-deserved holiday pint? The campsite is adjacent to the Pack Horse Inn, a coaching inn dating back to 1610 and serving real ales and hot food. The inn also has a small shop selling daily essentials. On-site facilities include a ladies and gents' toilet block, a shower shack and there is a cold-water bowser for drinking water. Well-behaved dogs are welcome too, but due to the livestock on site, canine chums need to be in a lead at all times.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: It's just one medium sized field so even if it was busy there still isn't too many other people around. It shares a fence with a lovely pub that serves delicious food and you can book tables! The toilets in the campsite were very clean and well stocked and it was quiet on a night. The light pollution is very minimal so where the sky is clear you can see lots of stars.

Disliked: It turns out there was a storm when we stayed but it is a very open campsite location wise and I wonder if it's always quite windy because of that. Meant there's great far views in all directions though!

Fantastic location

Disliked: The price of the food next to camp site but obviously this is nothing to do with the camp site itself.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: The location was perfect! It’s rather exposed (and of-course we picked a weekend with very high winds haha) but our tent stood up to it! The facilities were clean - one shower and a few toilets (even though it was quite full at the campsite it didn’t seem that only having one shower was causing issues). Some fantastic walks straight from the campsite and some lovely villages nearby. The pitches were good sizes and mostly all level. We will definitely be returning!
FYI for other campers: We are on EE and managed to get phone signal and mobile data. We couldn’t use the pub as the extreme wind had meant they couldn’t take card payment’s

From the manager: Hiya, thanks for the wonderful review, it’s very much appreciated, hope to see you again in the future ( less wind next time hopefully)

Liked: Loved how clean and tidy all the facilities was. The field was also lovely and clean and well spaced out. Owner was lovely and friendly and very chatty. The scenery was amazing especially at sun set. No phone signal but was the best because it was pure family time.

Local attractions

Hike up to Hardcastle Crags (20 minutes’ drive) or up the activity levels with a moorland yomp to Top Withens (90 minutes’ walk) to see the inspiration for Emily Brontë’s famous novel ‘Wuthering Heights’. Mix in some cultural time with a visit to Emily’s study at the Brontë Parsonage Museum (half an hour) in Haworth, and take a tour of the Piece Hall (35 minutes), Halifax’s wonderfully restored Georgian-era cloth hall. You can learn all about West Yorkshire’s former textile industry at Gibson Mill (30 minutes), which produced cotton until 1890. Pick up souvenirs for the folks back home from Boundary Mill outlet store (20 minutes) in Colne, or potter around the indie shops in Skipton (40 minutes), which is also gateway to hikes in the Dales. The art deco Hebden Bridge Picture House (15 minutes) takes care of any rainy days with showings of feel-good films, while a nose around the famous May’s Shop (10 minutes) in Heptonstall is recommended – it’s been run by the same elderly lady for years and is a much-loved local institution.
