Having had withdrawal symptoms from not using our 'van, we looked for somewhere to take the children for February half term.  York is such a beautiful city with lots to do, and so we chose Beechwood Grange as our base. Given the time of year and the amount of rain that part of the world has suffered in recent months, the site was immaculate!  2 mins drive away from Monks Cross shopping centre & park & ride into the City Centre, it really ideally located. It is such a shame that the Jorvik centre won't be open until next year after being flooded at Christmas, but the Viking Festival they put on in the centre of the city was excellent. Will definitely return.
