  • Simple and scenic pop-up site on a Yorkshire Dales working farm
  • A 10-minute drive to Bolton Abbey or Stump Cross Caverns
  • Direct access to the Dales Way; two village pubs five mins' drive away
Taking a walk on the Dales Way? You’ll probably want to stop off here – Pasture Pitches is in a supremely handy spot just off the long-distance path a couple of miles south of Appletreewick, with direct access from the path to the site. And the rather tougher 90-mile Dales High Way is only about a mile away too, making this a suitable spot for the more hardcore hikers as well. Even if you’re not planning to tackle the full 80-mile trail, this spot is well located for walking in the Yorkshire Dales – you could step out onto the Dales Way for a shorter riverside walk or check out lots of other lovely local trails including the Valley of Desolation waterfall walk or the routes around Embsay Crag (also a popular bouldering spot, by the way). Giving your boots a rest is no problem, either, as there are plenty of other attractions nearby including the stunning Stump Cross Caverns, the atmospheric ruins of Bolton Abbey and the heritage train rides of Embsay & Bolton Abbey Steam Railway. Skipton (15 minutes’ drive) is a handy place to find shops and places to eat, but there are also two pubs five minutes’ drive away in Appletreewick. This is a small and simple pop-up site on a working farm, so facilities stretch to just portable toilets and showers, but you’re welcome to bring a barbecue.

What customers say

A ripper, chill campsite by the River Wharfe, with cracking views and Dales Way access. Poms rave about the friendly owners, clean amenities, and laid-back vibe. Spotty phone signal and a few more loos when busy are the only downsides. A true hidden gem for nature lovers and hikers, most want to come back!

Liked Great location, friendly hosts and decent facilities. All you need. I went when bad weather was forecast so the site was relatively quiet. I had 1 bar of signal on vodafone in the field with the toilets.

Liked Lovely, simple place, beautiful views, peaceful. The owner (afraid I can't recall his name) went above and beyond. Nothing was too much trouble, even picked us up after a long, beautiful, walk to Grassington.
Definitely recommend. Nothing fancy, but just what we needed. Thank you
Highly recommended

Unpowered grass tent or motorhome site

Liked Could not reccomend enough... Steve and Lottie were the perfect hosts all while tending to the animals, and looking after their children. For a pop up pitch it's got everything you need, a great crafted shower/toilet block. A beautiful view, and goregous stars on an evening. Perfect location, we walked to get an ice-cream with 5 small kids down to the strid, it was lush!

Disliked The only sad thing is that we didn't have more time!!!!
