Why stay here ...

Gillian looks forward to welcoming you to her CL.

Foss Dyke is a peaceful site located on the edge of the village of Bishopthorpe which has many amenities such as several pubs, shops, hairdressers, chemist etc. It is conveniently close to a Park and Ride, the local bus route and large supermarket, and close to a public cycle path which leads you to York's city centre and to the town of Selby.

Each generously sized grass pitch has electricity and drinking water, and is adjacent to our own pine woodland which you are welcome to explore. In spring the park becomes adorned with daffodils and bluebells. We are very fortunate to have a variety of wildlife on and around the caravan park so be sure too look out for them. Often spotted are squirrels, foxes, deer, owls and buzzards.  Limited hard-standing also available. 

This CL is only 3 miles from the city of York, a beautiful city with many attractions - York Minster, Jorvick Viking Centre, Clifford's Tower and National Railway Museum just to name a few. We are also only an hours drive away from the East Coast, Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors which hosts the North York Moors Railway with magnificent steam engines and beautiful rural stations.

York is a Christmas shopping heaven with its mix of shops and wonderful Christmas markets throughout York's atmospheric streets. The festive shopping starts off with the ever popular St Nicholas Market which usually begins at the end of November and continues until just before Christmas. The bustling Victorian market stalls sell everything from local produce to traditional gifts and crafts, all accompanied by the smell of roasting chestnuts and the sound of carol singers.

Not only is the Christmas market very popular, York hosts regular European and local Farmer's Markets on a regular basis throughout the year.

We welcome well behaved dogs but request that they are kept on leads at all times.

There is a park and ride 1.5 miles away which take you to the centre of York.

A lovely CL

Just back from 8 nights here, late June. Easy access and a lovely welcome from Gillian. Can't really add a great deal to previous reviews. I imagine it's a very different CL in autumn when there is less foliage about, the motorhome section is quite gloomy because of it, but... Show more

Excellent site, well maintained and convenient

We spent 5 glorious sunny days on this peaceful secure site. The Park & Ride to York is only 20 mins walk down a pleasant path which was the old railway line. Each pitch had its own water which saved a lot of aquaroll filling. All in all an excellent,... Show more
