  • Peaceful off-grid glamping site among woods and wildflowers
  • A 10-minute drive to Whitby or Robin Hood's Bay
  • Upcycled outdoor kitchen, hot shower and firepit area provided
Truly wild in setting, but comfy in style – North Yorkshire’s Coast and Camplight is a place that’s managed to create a fabulous blend for guests that value both peace and comfort. Three miles from Whitby and with lovely views down to the town, its abbey and the sea, this site has a wonderfully secluded feeling to it, with ancient woodland on one side and wildflower fields on the other. Those protected habitats mean this place is teeming with wildlife – look out for the resident barn owls, along with deer, badgers, bats and all sorts of birds. To preserve that natural setting, no cars are allowed on site – you’ll leave your car at the gate and use a wheelbarrow to transport your kit to your bell tent (with someone on hand to help out if needed). The site is also completely off grid, with no wifi and only intermittent phone signal – just the place for a digital detox. Solar lighting, compost toilets and lots of upcycled materials mean this site is kind to the environment. There’s still a real element of luxury as well, though, with proper beds, fluffy towels and luxury bedding provided. You’ll have the use of a one-of-a-kind rotating outdoor kitchen and a firepit area with a hanging griddle so you can have a go at cooking over fire. Cuddling up by the campfire is a lovely way to keep warm, but you'll be pleased to hear there's also a hot shower available for guests. If you’d rather head out in search of food, there are two nice (and dog-friendly) pubs about a mile away, and a farm with homemade ice cream just under an hour's walk away.

Local attractions

Start by taking a stroll to see your surroundings – there are lots of lovely walks from the site, and about a mile away you can link up with the Cinder Track, a disused railway line running to Whitby or Robin Hood’s Bay. You can also follow part of the Coast to Coast trail, which passes through the farm. A little beck in the woods is a nice place to cool off with a paddle when you return. Having seen Whitby from afar you’ll surely want to get down there to explore. If you're not walking, you can drive down there in about 10 minutes to visit the abbey, 199 Steps and Captain Cook Memorial Museum, wander through the historic streets and grab fish and chips on the beach. For more outings, Robin Hood’s Bay and Falling Foss Tea Garden are both 10 minutes’ drive away, and it’s a 20-minute drive to the North Yorkshire Moors Railway at Goathland.
