The scent of damp grass and turned earth greets you at Galtres Farm, where the morning chorus echoes across open Yorkshire farmland and the horizon stretches wide and uncluttered.

This is a straightforward working farm site that welcomes tents, campervans and caravans — the kind of place that suits families after space to roam, couples wanting a proper countryside escape, or anyone passing through North Yorkshire who prefers fields to manicured pitches. You're in classic Moors-meets-Vale country here, where dry stone walls give way to rolling arable land and market towns sit tucked between bigger adventures north and west.

Facilities cover the basics — toilets and showers onsite — and the campfire policy needs checking when you arrive, so worth asking if that's part of your plans. It's a working farm setup, so expect a relaxed, no-frills vibe where the landscape does the talking and you're left to your own quiet rhythm under a proper dark sky.

Jorvic Way

Follows ancient Roman roads and medieval routes for 104km between York and Middlesbrough, crossing the Vale of York and North York Moors edge. Mostly flat farmland paths and quiet lanes until the final moorland ascent. Too long for young families as a whole, but individual sections work well with buggies on the flatter stretches. Dogs welcome throughout. Offers genuine historical intrigue, tracing the route traders used between these two significant northern settlements.
