  • Well-maintained, adults-only touring park in the Ribble Valley
  • A 15-minute drive to Clitheroe and 40 minutes to Yorkshire Dales
  • Easy access from the M6; restaurants a couple of minutes' walk away
A countryside location but with easy motorway access and restaurants a few minutes’ walk away? That’s the fine mix you’ll get at Northwood Caravan and Holiday Park, a family-run park in Lancashire’s lovely Ribble Valley. It’s a peaceful setup indeed here, as it’s an adults-only park with plenty of space to relax on the touring pitches and take in the views over Longridge Fell. The team that run the site take great pride in their place, as you’ll note from the pics of the immaculately maintained and landscaped grounds. Equally well maintained are the facilities, which include water and electric hookups and a smart modern amenities block (opened for the 2021 season) with top-notch showers, a laundry area and accessible bathroom facilities. This is a popular area for walkers so bring your boost along: as well as the Ribble Valley itself there are miles more trails nearby along the coast, in the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Being about 10 minutes’ drive from the M6 also means it’s easy to get to the Lake District with minimal fuss. If you need any advice on where to walk, have a chat with the owners – they’ll happily point you towards their favourite spots. For eats, there are Italian and Indian restaurants a couple of minutes’ walk away, and there are several other pubs and places to eat within five minutes’ drive (plus a Michelin-starred number 10 minutes away). Whalley and Blackburn are both about 10 minutes’ drive away for shops and places to eat.

Electric optional grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked: Walter the manager/owner was great extremely helpful, especially when we said it was our first time with a tourer also our motor mover wasn’t working he got a colleague to help push our caravan into its spot.
Has lots of information about the surrounding area and bus timetables with directions to nearest stops and which side for different destinations, he goes the extra mile. Adult only

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
We are only a small independent park and do our very best to be of service to our customers.
Walter is very aware that not everyone is a seasoned caravaner and a little help and advice go a long way.
We are incredibly lucky to be in such a beautiful area and it’s fantastic, especially for customers with motor homes, to have the bus stop next door .
See you again soon ❤️

Electric optional grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked: Friendly site owner Walter who was very knowledgable of the area and where to go. Nice clean site and amenities block.

Disliked: There was too much road noise for us personally which did keep us awake quite a bit. There was also quite a lot of barking from a nearby dog breeder, albeit these two points were obviously beyond the site owners control

Liked: Site clean and tidy.the owner Walter was very friendly.

Disliked: Didn’t like the fact that you had to pay for showers as very concerned about money running out .would be better I think if you put up the ground rent to cover costs

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave a review it is appreciated.🙏
£1 in the shower will give you 5 minutes of hot water to power shower standard. It should be enough for a good shower😀
I understand your comments but some people will just have a shower and walk out leaving hot water running , this is why we charge for the showers. I hope this helps.😀

Pitches were well spaced out, spacious and well maintained. Toilet and shower facilities…

Local attractions

Peer into the past… Samlesbury Hall (five minutes' drive) has witch tours, a heritage café and the historic house to look around, while in Whalley village (10 minutes) there’s a Cistercian Abbey, plus a viaduct, river walks and independent shops to choose from afterwards. The foodies and gin connoisseurs among you won’t be left out around here. Clitheroe (15 minutes) is a fantastic foodie town, thanks to its food festival and market (not forgetting the castle for an extra helping of history), and the Brindle Distillery (15 minutes) is a good way to wash it all down with a gin tour. Now for some nature – some good places to find that include the Brockholes nature reserve (10 minutes), Bowland Wild Boar Park (25 minutes) and all the walks around Skipton and the Yorkshire Dales (40 minutes). Those of you who aren’t finished with the action of a town or city might also want to pay a visit to the Haworth Art Gallery (25 minutes) and all of Blackpool’s attractions (half an hour), including the theme park, water park and piers.
