First time to North York Moors with our caravan.
Travelled up from Suffolk with ease A14, A1, off at York to Pickering and just 6 miles North in the delightful Village of Lockton. Greeted at the gate by the very pleasant owner and given a choice of pitch plus a full explanation of how everything operates on site.
This spacious site is well screened by natural hedges to the North & West and being at the end of the Village it offers a peaceful and rural atmosphere.
The location is ideal for the coast, the moors and the town of Pickering that has excellent shops for most of your needs. There are good walks direct from the site.
We took the NYMR train from nearby Levisham Station to Whitby (an hour and a half of pure boyhood memories), the Coastliner Bus Service has a request stop just under a mile away on the main road.
The pub at Levisham serves excellent ales and good food but is busy and pre-booking is recommended.
In June when we visited, it is one of the best times to visit the RSPB reserve at Bempton Cliffs, just north of Flamborough Head (approx. 32 miles away - but well worth the journey) and do make use of the free entry for Club members.
The site is ideal for couples like us (retired and looking for peace & quiet) and in our opinion it would not offer much by way of activities for children e.g. no play area, swings or other playing apparatus on site or in the Village.
The owner keeps the site clean & tidy and is regularly cutting the grass. He is also keen that we all respect the environment by offering excellent recycling bins.
My wife & I loved the area, the friendly approach of the owner, the quietness of the site and Village and will definitely like to return for another dose of Yorkshire air.
