The land around North Yorkshire's Breaks Fold Farm is so stunningly scenic that it's often used by directors from the small screen: Emmerdale, All Creatures and DCI Banks have both been filmed in this lush locality in the spectacular Washburn Valley within the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The area has also been awarded dark sky status for the outstanding night skies. The farm itself has also won environmental awards for its contribution to nature.
If you're coming to this stunning area for hikes, the farm is close to all levels of them in the Yorkshire Dales National Park; for old old structures, famed Yorkshire highlights like Fountains Abbey and Pateley Bridge are easily reached, and for towns and cities, pubs and shopping, Harrogate, Skipton, York, Ripon, Ilkley and Leeds are all well placed to get to from here: as friendly owner Richard says, there are absolutely loads of things to do within a 20-minute drive.
A quiet and family-run farm, Breaks Fold overlooks Thruscross Reservoir and has easy access to the cycling and fishing of the valley as well as more hikes around the woods and the water. The 3 dales trail can be picked nearby and the farm is within reach of 6 reservoirs all with fantastic walking and cycling routes. It's a simple but clean and well-maintained site, with toilets and free hot showers as well as the facilities for ice pack freezing and gadget charging.The site gives a real family feeling and the owners pride themselves on offering outstanding customer service.
The camp site consists of a 2 acre field split into a main field and electric area. Firepits are available to hire on arrival for an authentic camping experience. The campsite and electric pitches can host most units.
In a separate area there is a trio of adult only shepherds huts, with spectacular views of the reservoir and valley. These huts are perfect for adults looking for a quiet country escape, complete with optional spa hot tubs and bbq fire pits. Fully heated, with free wifi to enjoy a bit of farming history made for modern day glamping.
Electric car charging is also available on-site through charge assist.
