The first thing you notice is the light on the water — Great Lake stretches out quiet and silver, with the dome of Castle Howard rising through the trees beyond.

This is a year-round site in the heart of the North Yorkshire Howardian Hills, and it suits anyone who wants a proper base for exploring one of England's grandest estates. Tenters, caravanners and campervan owners are all welcome, and the fact it stays open through winter means you can visit when the frost settles over the parkland or catch autumn colour around the lake. You're within easy reach of York, the Moors and the market towns that dot this gentle, wooded countryside.

Facilities are straightforward — toilets and showers onsite — and you'll need to check about campfires when you arrive. The vibe is peaceful and parkland-pretty, with that rare combination of grandeur on the doorstep and space to pitch up without fuss.

Foss Walk

Follows the gently flowing Foss Beck through peaceful North Yorkshire countryside with minimal elevation change, making it ideal for families with buggies and young children. Dogs welcome to explore the riverside path. The flat terrain and waterside setting offer easy walking with plenty of opportunities to spot wildlife, paddle in shallow sections, and enjoy classic Yorkshire Dales scenery without the challenging climbs found elsewhere in the region.

Centenary Way

Stretches 134km across North Yorkshire's varied landscapes, from gentle riverside paths and farmland to moorland climbs with sustained, sometimes steep ascents. Terrain shifts frequently—expect muddy sections after rain and exposed upland stretches. Not suitable for buggies; challenging for young children due to length and elevation changes, though individual sections work for families. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. Delivers sweeping dales views, historic market towns, and genuine backco

Ebor Way

Stretches across the Vale of York with gentle to moderate terrain and occasional climbs near the Howardian Hills. Mixed surfaces include field paths, country lanes and woodland tracks – expect muddy sections after rain. Suitable for older children and fit dogs, but length and stiles make it challenging for buggies and very young walkers. Worth doing for the varied Yorkshire countryside, historic villages, and connections to Castle Howard estate.
