The morning air smells of turned earth and the quiet scrape of farmyard gates, just fields and birdsong between you and the flat Vale of York horizon.

Pool Bridge Farm suits campers and motorhomers after simplicity and a proper working-farm feel, out in the gentle farmland near Crockey Hill, a short hop south-east of York. It's the sort of spot dog walkers appreciate — space to roam, quiet lanes, and the kind of Yorkshire countryside that doesn't shout about itself. Check the dog policy when you book. Tent pitches and campervan spots keep things low-key and informal.

Facilities aren't specified, so ring ahead to confirm what's onsite and whether you'll need to bring your own everything. Campfires depend on conditions — ask on arrival. The vibe is unpretentious and rural, the kind of place you choose for starry skies and morning mist rather than entertainment or polish. If you fish, Westerly Lake and Raker Lakes are both within easy reach, though this is fundamentally a quiet farm stay, not a dedicated angling base.

Jorvic Way

Spans 104km from York to Filey, following predominantly flat to gentle terrain across the Vale of Pickering with occasional moderate climbs near the coast. Suitable for strong older children tackling sections, but the full distance and some field paths make it unsuitable for buggies. Dogs welcome throughout, though livestock may be present in pastoral sections. Offers a compelling mix of Viking-era York, historic market towns, and dramatic North Sea clifftop finishes, making it ideal for heritag

Perfect for families and accessible for buggies along most sections, though cobbled areas near the Minster may require care. Dogs welcome throughout.
