Sunset over robin hood's bay

  • 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 are 10 minutes' walk away. 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 and its well-stocked shops are 15 minutes’ walk away along the Cleveland Way. 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 washing-up 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 and a small herd of alpacas.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked I loved the fresh flowers and bunting over the hand wash area it gave it a beautiful homely feel to the campsite.
It was close to Robin hoods bay and took less than 10 mins to walk there.

Disliked I found the camp site very over priced for the facilities available. There are 2 toilets and a single shower pretty much in an outside shed.
The lighting was very poor in the toilets and shower it was difficult to shower after sunset due to the lighting.
There is no hot water on site. So if you want to wash your pots, you should rinse them at the washing up sink and boil the kettle to finish them off which is difficult with a barbecue.

From the manager: We are in a dark skies area so light is kept to a minimal As we are a quiet site after 10 pm there is no need for extra light in the shower. On arrival you were instructed no bbq's due to high fire risk situation - I am disappointed you ignored had a bbq.

Great views, great location, easy access, flat pitches.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Pulled up to the farm, phoned the number and received a lovely friendly welcome from Heidi. We chose a great flat pitch with fantastic views of the sea (and some cute sheep and alpacas) and set up. Toilets were super clean. The walk down to Robin Hoods Bay was easy enough and we did it at dawn, in daylight and at night. Fully recommend it!

Disliked Can't have fires, which is a shame when camping, but there have been wildfires in Yorkshire Moors so I guess it's a fair precaution.

Local attractions

So, where to get walking to? You’ll be going off-road on the 22-mile Cinder Track (10 minutes' 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 (10 minutes' 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' drive) 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).
