The crunch of gravel underfoot, the wide North Yorkshire sky stretching above, and the tang of salt air drifting up from Robin Hood's Bay just beyond the farmland — this is proper clifftop country, wild and bracing.
Hooks House Farm welcomes both tents and campervans to a working farm setting that suits couples after coast-and-moor walking, dog owners (though worth asking about the current policy when you book), and anyone drawn to the drama of this storied stretch between Whitby and Scarborough. The pitches have electric hookups available, and you're a short walk from one of Yorkshire's most photographed fishing villages, all red-roofed cottages tumbling down to a pebble beach.
Facilities are straightforward — toilets onsite, the essentials covered — and campfires may be allowed, so check when you arrive if you've brought kindling. The vibe here is unpretentious and farm-real, the kind of spot where you wake to seabirds calling and fall asleep to silence, with the coastal path and the bay's rock pools waiting just down the lane.
