THE RANCH - SELBY [105]






Friday 27th February – Sunday 1st March 2009

This commercial site has it all, level pitches on hardstandings, new shower and toilet block, clubhouse with bar and restaurant. The weekend of our visit was reasonably busy, with many seasonal pitches taken by regulars. I have never been able to make my mind up about seasonal caravanners. They are all helpful and have a good knowledge of local facilities and amenities. However they come across as superior to the common or garden caravaner and usually have their own glasses and seats in the bar. Perhaps it’s me.

I’m pleased to report that my daughter and husband are getting better at caravanning, but they still have a long way to go. My son in law is an ex HGV driver so towing and manoeuvring are not a problem, they just need to get into a routine, which will eventually come, [I hope].

The approach to the site is straight forward, but watch out for the speed humps in Cliffe village. The entrance has an electronic security gate which was open when we arrived. Visitors are given a key to operate the gate for which the owners require a deposit.

Selby is the nearest major town for shopping etc, however there is a pub and convenience store in nearby Cliffe. I believe a bus service to Selby runs from the village. York is a short drive away with a Park and Ride service available to the south of the city.

Analogue TV signal good
Digital signal available

£14.50 per night [This varies with occupancy during main season]
