Cliff Farm
A proper working farm on the Ryedale edge of North Yorkshire Moors, where Robert's 90-minute farm tour is the thing guests mention first.
Cliff Farm sits three miles from Pickering in Ryedale, on the southern edge of the North Yorkshire Moors National Park. Cows, sheep, horses, chickens and goats come with the territory, and the hosts take that seriously: Robert runs farm tours that guests consistently single out as the highlight of their stay, not an afterthought but a genuine 90-minute conversation about the land and the animals.
The 30 hardstanding pitches are kept immaculately, and the shower and toilet block earns that word without irony: reviewers describe it as spotless, heated, and thoughtfully run. Metered electric hookup means you pay for what you use, which feels fair. Fresh eggs are available to buy, a pub is within walking distance, and the farm's marked footpaths take you out into the Ryedale countryside without needing to get back in the vehicle.
Pickering is the gateway to the North York Moors Railway, which connects through to Whitby. Helmsley and Malton are both within 20 minutes, Dalby Forest is within reach, and Castle Howard sits in the same broad arc of the Vale of York. This is a base for a proper touring week as much as a quiet stop.
Before you book
