Our pitch
Pool bridge farm, wild swimming for adults and children a 20 minute drive from site
Dreamers gardens. a ten minute walk from the site through the woods

  • Peaceful dog-friendly site surrounded by the Yorkshire countryside
  • A 20-minute drive to York, the Yorkshire Wolds Way and Castle Howard
  • Walk to the Northwood Trail, a café and restaurant; farm shop nearby
A chilled drink in hand, the Yorkshire Wolds on the horizon and a belly full of fresh farm food grilled on your barbecue… that’s one way to spend an afternoon at Beech Farm. Other ways include hiking out into the Yorkshire Wolds (the site is around 20 minutes’ drive from the Yorkshire Wolds Way for long-distance hikes) or setting about exploring the immediate countryside. A 20-minute drive from York, this is a peaceful escape for any city dwellers… or indeed, a wise spot for those looking to check out its chocolate-making history, historic minster and Shambles shopping street from a base that’s in the countryside. The gorgeous site is half a mile back from a main road and has views across the fields, woods and the distant Yorkshire Wolds. The site is simply a beautiful field with a rustic toilet, shower and wash-up block, so it’s just the place for those seeking a back to basics break and lots of peace and quiet. Handily, dogs are very much welcome too. Yorkshire strolls might be next up. If so, the three-mile Northwood Trail is just 15 minutes’ walk from the site too. On the trail, there’s a restaurant, café and a simple playground. If you’re after more tasty things to eat (or to take back for a barbecue), there’s a farm shop and café five minutes’ drive away (or a 45-minute walk away), as well as a cluster of pubs in Stamford Bridge (five minutes’ drive or 45 minutes’ walk).

Primitive grass tent, travel trailer or trailer tent campsite

Liked This is definitely a little gem. This has got to be the cleanest farm that I have ever stayed at, and I have stayed at a few. All the facilities are clean and well stocked. The ground is level, the grass is cut and there is no road noise, perfect

Primitive grass tent, travel trailer or trailer tent campsite

Liked Lovely field, very peaceful, we had plenty of space, as only 5-6 tents stayed over the weekend. Facilities are basic, but clean. Could hire a fire pit if you didn’t bring one with you. Freezer, hairdryer and kettle available for use. A small selection of snacks was available to purchase.

Disliked Nothing really to report

Primitive grass tent, travel trailer or trailer tent campsite

Liked Was a lovely peaceful campsite. Nice hot showers and clean facilities to use. Logs delivered on a little quad bike. Can hire a fire pit for a small fee. Plenty of walks to do. Great for little kids, my daughter loved that she could see all the animals.

Owners couldn’t be more helpful

Would definitely recommend, hopefully be back

Primitive grass tent, travel trailer or trailer tent campsite

Liked Lovely quiet, friendly site with picturesque views. The camping field is well maintained with flat pictures. The facilities are rustic but clean with nice warm showers. We enjoyed the animals including goats and chickens. The hairdryer, freezer and kettle were useful additions. Within easy driving distance of Stamford Bridge and York.

Disliked A mirror within each of the toilets would have been useful.

Primitive grass tent, travel trailer or trailer tent campsite

Liked Loved the animals, it was in a lovely spot surrounded by wildlife and nature! The site wasn’t too busy and other guests were respectful of others😊. The toilets and showers were clean and the kettle was a great touch! It was great that you could hire a fire pit, as I love a campfire when away. The gentleman owner dropped the logs off at our tent. Very helpful. Would highly recommend this site to families.

Liked Great location awsy ftom main roads and really good views. Pitches are flat and well maintained. Good facilities with nice hot showers.

Disliked The hardcore track into the field is difficult to drive over safely on a motorbike. They let me use an alternative gate so i could park on my pitch.

Primitive grass tent, travel trailer or trailer tent campsite

Liked The quietness, the goats were funny as they kept making noises which the ducks then responded to. The toilets were clean and there was a kettle so we didn't have to wait for ours to boil. Easy to find and a nice place.

Disliked We weren't sure if there were any walks nearby, maybe some suggestions would be nice?

Local attractions

Soaking in some of Yorkshire’s history should be no hard feat around here. Start with the rural side of Yorkshire at Murton Park (10 minutes’ drive), which is a farming museum with 14 acres of playgrounds, animals and historic areas all about Yorkshire farms in the present and past. Castle Howard (20 minutes) is a similar spot with a historic house and estate, playground and walks where the fashionable Howard family have strolled for 300 years or so. Keep up your history-themed tour with a visit to the National Railway Museum York (half an hour) or welcome a bit of wildlife art into your itinerary with a look around the Robert Fuller Gallery Ltd (20 minutes) - and see what inspiration strikes for when you’re relaxing around the green spaces at Beech Farm. Any folk who have come prepared with all their hiking gear and who are itching to get going will get in a good, long hike around the Yorkshire Wolds Way (around 20 minutes), a Wolds trail totalling 79 miles. Failing that, the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (25 minutes) has a gorgeous set of trails.
