This was our first visit to York as we have met with the challenges of trying to get a pitch when we could fit it in with work, that said we managed to get a 6 night booking following a cancellation however this was for a non-awning pitch. We have a twin axle and tow with a T5 VW so had to be allocated a pitch which just happened to be immediately adjacent to the construction site side. There was some confusion that about whether we could have two units on one pitch however we explained that we use the T5 camper as our only tow vehicle. We offered to park it elsewhere on site but were told there wasn’t anywhere else to park it so it would be overlooked this time! However we could use it to sleep in if we wished! A bit confused! Secondly I think it’s important to know that the construction site noise starts at 8am and finishes at 6pm. There is a little respite at 10am when they have a break! We dealt with this by going out early and returning late. However the caravan was covered in dust, and shook when the digger got too close to the fence. The noise is such that you have to raise your voice in order to hear each other! Remember to close your windows if we want to escape construction dust! That said this site is immaculately kept and the facilities are very good and spotlessly clean. We could not fault its location as its convenient to walk into the city, there is a cycle path that you can pick up immediate from outside the site, there is a rear gate on the site that goes directly to shops, pubs, wine bars, restaurants and it’s close to the river and the excellent park! We visited York Minister, The Shambles, took a river cruise in the early evening as it was less crowded, cycled along the Trans Pennine trail all the way to Selby via Ricall and back (29.3 miles) (the route is flat and follows the old East Coast railway line. The first part being called the Solar System cycle path is ideal for children); We took the steam train from Pickering to Whitby – well worth the visit and ride; and took in a mountain bike ride from Sutton Bank on the North Yorkshire moors. Lots to do and see in a beautiful part of the country! And what made it extra special was that the weather was fantastic! As I said this was our first visit however we plan to return…. once the construction work has been completed of course! 😊
